Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (Primary) BTchLn The Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (Primary) is an internationally recognised three-year full-time professional qualification that prepares you for a teaching career in primary, intermediate, middle and area schools. The BTchLn(Primary) runs from February to November and is available: • full-time on campus in Christchurch, • full-time either in Nelson or Rotorua by a mix of face-to-face and distance study, • full-time or part-time through the distance Flexible Learning Option (FLO). The BTchLn(Primary) requires a total of 360 points made up as follows: • Education: 60 points • Professional Inquiry and Practice: 150 points • Curriculum Studies: 150 points For descriptions of these categories of study within the degree see the Primary Teacher Education entry on page 126. For the full degree requirements see the Regulations for the BTchLn(Primary) at www.canterbury.ac.nz/regulations Primary Flexible Learning Option The Primary Flexible Learning Option (FLO) enables students to complete the BTchLn via distance education. All FLO Primary students must attend an onsite intensive in the February of their first year of study. FLO BTchLn students are required to attend scheduled on-site intensives at the Christchurch campus or in Rotorua. Courses are delivered on a semester-bysemester basis, integrating web-based material, CD and DVD resources, audio and video conferences, and email. For effective study, students need internet access, preferably broadband.
