EDECE3026 Transitions in Early Childhood
This course is designed to develop the Pre-Service Teacher's (PSTs) knowledge and ability to support young children's transitions. These transitions start with the transition from home to an early childhood education setting, follow the child's transitions between rooms, and the transition into the Primary School setting. PSTs will explore theories of development and attachment, play-based pedagogies, relevant legislative and local policies, and inclusive and equitable strategies to enable them understand their role in planning for these transitions. This course will highlight the importance of building positive partnerships and effective communication strategies to work with the child, their families and the community.
