This unit is the last in a sequence of four Professional Learning experiences in which students engage with the early childhood context. The unit includes the preparation and implementation of the Assistant Teacher Program that examines processes of curriculum development, implementation and decision-making. In addition to an on-campus component, there is a professional placement in a kindergarten or pre-primary setting for the equivalent of a school term, which will provide an opportunity for students to connect theory with practice under the guidance of experienced professionals. Students will become familiar with the school environment through full day visits prior to commencing the Professional Practice.
