Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) with Bachelor of Music

Teaching Capabilities Statement (TCS): In accordance with national teacher education program standards, applicants must fulfil non-academic entry requirements. Applicants are required to submit a 400-600 word Teaching Capabilities Statement (TCS) which speaks to motivation to become a teacher. The statement must address three themes: * understanding of the role of a teacher * the personal and academic qualities possessed that will enable you to become an effective teacher * your attitude to learning. The statement must be in the applicant?s own words and written by the applicant without the use of artificial intelligence. Only one statement is permitted, and changes or edits cannot be made after submission. The submission is final, and the University will not provide feedback or a reassessment of a statement. The submitted statement may be scrutinised by artificial intelligence (AI) detection software and if the use of AI is detected, the University may not progress with the application. Working with Children Check (WWCC): All people who work with children and young people will require a Working with Children Check (WWCC). A successful WWCC is required prior to undertaking any professional experience placement, including all in-school activities which involve contact with minors (people under 18 years of age). These placements and in-school activities are compulsory components of teaching degrees at the University of Adelaide. It is the student's responsibility to ensure they have a valid WWCC prior to undertaking any professional experience placement or in-school activities. Find out more at the Department of Human Services Criminal History Check and Responding to Abuse and Neglect training: Professional Experience Placements form a compulsory part of the program. Students will be required to undertake a Child-related Employment screening through Department of Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI). If a student fails to obtain clearance for any reason, the University cannot accept responsibility for obtaining a professional experience placement or any professional experience activity that a student may require to complete the course of study. In addition, students who are completing any in-school activities or professional experience placements must undertake mandatory training in Responding to Abuse and Neglect prior to the commencement of the activity/placement. Students must provide documented evidence that shows that they have completed all of the required training. All students must pass both components of the Language and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE). All applicants must also attend and pass an audition/interview and a musicianship test. Selections for music programs are made on the basis of audition/interview scores combined with academic achievement and the musicianship test score. It is possible to audition for more than one instrument or study area if you have multiple interests. Auditions will be held in late November. Please check dates and deadlines, as well as find the audition registration form at: https://able.adelaide.edu.au/music/study/auditions.
