EDMAS6062 Engaging Professionally 2: Infants and Toddlers
This unit is designed to enable Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) to develop their understanding of the professional work of early childhood teachers (ECTs) and includes a 20-day professional experience with children under the age of 3 years in which they will be able to apply their learning. PSTs will experience a professional learning community where learning is enhanced through social processes, dialogue and personal reflection. Guided by a learning mentor in the early learning setting, PSTs will understand and critically examine professional teaching standards, roles and expectations, and legal and ethical responsibilities. Using narrative and dialogue, they will make increasingly complex connections between theory and practice and their observations in early childhood settings and will begin to conceptualise the sort of teacher they want to become.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
