ECCEL3723 Infants and toddlers professional experience

This unit supports the 15-day professional experience placement for Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education) students, working with children under three years of age. Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) are introduced to both individual and collective understandings of the education profession, with learning framed around developing the practices and knowledge required to become active, engaged early childhood teachers. PSTs will explore verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to support young children's learning and engagement, as well as effective approaches to working with the professional learning community and parents/carers. Drawing on relevant legislative frameworks and policies, PSTs will examine their ethical responsibilities to young children and identify strategies that promote their wellbeing and safety within early childhood settings. Throughout the placement, PSTs are required to complete designated professional learning activities in collaboration with their assigned mentors.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
