FLO stands for Flexible Learning Option. It provides students with access, by distance delivery, to the Bachelor of Teaching and Learning and to the Graduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning.
You can apply using the standard application pack.
Early Childhood students attend two days of face-to-face classes in Christchurch or Nelson each month. The scheduling of these days may vary from region to region. If student numbers are not sufficient to hold these classes within Nelson then the face-to-face days will be held on the Christchurch Campus.
Primary students attend face to face sessions during a two-week Residential School at the beginning of your course. Full-time students then attend another two week Residential School during each semester of study. Part-time students only attend one Residential School per year. Most students do not have to attend scheduled classes other than those at Residential Schools. The exception is students enrolled in the Rotorua Initiative who are required to attend class one day per week.
Most courses are delivered using a combination of print, audio-visual, and on-line teaching. Assignments may be mailed or emailed to the Distance Material & Assignments Centre.
