Effective teaching requires professionals who are able to use a range of technologies, subject content and techniques to enhance and extend children’s learning. The Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) provides the skills needed to engage children through visual arts, music, literacy, mathematics and creative assessment. Students will learn how to respond to family diversity, children with additional needs and Indigenous and linguistically diverse children.

The course includes five supervised practical units, placing students in early childhood settings and primary schools to develop professional teaching skills.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

Graduates will have the skills, knowledge and dispositions to be pedagogical leaders, effective advocates for social justice and equity, capable teachers of children from birth to eight years in a variety of settings, and professionals whose practice is informed by critical reflection and ongoing learning.
