You will learn innovative ways to provide foundation programs for young learners from birth to eight years of age, setting up these children for their lifelong learning journey. You will be supported by specialist early childhood academics and will experience real-world opportunities that prepare you to teach in early childhood. Our future-focused course will equip you with the skills and capabilities to manage learning programs, and to develop your own professional identity as a teacher.
As this course qualifies you to teach to Year 3 in schools, you will also undertake a primary specialisation in literacy as required by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL). The specialisation will enhance your skills in this national area of priority for primary schools.
