Programs for Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers
Courses for in-service teachers
ALC has several courses designed for the professional development of teachers, enabling you to reflect on your role in the educational and theological environment of a school.
Faith-based schools provide a vibrant education context for the study of the interactions between education and theology. These complementary disciplines inform each other and are lived out side by side in the day-to-day life of the school. The capacity to engage in the conversation between education and theology in the school context is of critical importance to the health and growth of the individual school and the school system.
All units in the following courses are delivered online. Access unit descriptions from the relevant course page or browse the available units on the Unit Management System.

Lutheran Strand for pre-service teachers
ALC does not offer a full teacher education program. However, if you are studying to become a teacher, or intending to do so, ALC offers the opportunity to complete many of the requirements needed for accreditation as a teacher in a Lutheran school in the form of units or topics that you may be able to cross-credit into your Bachelor of Education. This program is called the Lutheran Strand.
The Lutheran Strand program helps to prepare teachers for their role teaching Christian Studies in schools and Early Childhood Services. It provides a valued addition to initial teaching studies which is highly regarded by those who employ teachers in Lutheran and other Christian schools.
