Description:

This Professional Practice for Graduate Certificate of Education (Early Childhood Studies) students is undertaken in a Birth to Pre-Primary setting working with children aged between 0-6 years. The Professional Practice provides an opportunity to consolidate the connection between early childhood theory and practice and build teaching experience in an early childhood setting. Students plan and implement appropriate programs, and manage learners and the learning environment to cater for the developmental needs and interests of children aged 0-6 years. This is a Designated Unit, involving a placement in a school/centre where students gain practical experience. The placement provides an essential opportunity to connect theory with practice and develop the knowledge, dispositions, understandings and competencies of a early childhood teacher.
