EDMAS6162 Engaging Professionaly 3: Education for Prior-to-school children
This unit is the third in a suite of units designed to enable Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) to critically attend to, participate in and experience, the many facets of professional engagement in teaching through a 30-day Professional Experience placement with children aged three to five years old. PSTs will create and experience a professional learning community where learning is enhanced through social processes, dialogue, and personal reflection. Communication will take place on campus and in online environments. Guided by a learning mentor, PSTs will critically examine teaching and learning experiences in early childhood settings and make complex connections to prior learning. They will focus on bigger picture issues such as the emotional work of teachers, the changing culture of early childhood education and service improvement issues as well as their own personal questions, investigations, and insights. PSTs will prepare an evidence-based professional portfolio that will form the basis of their assessment and will seek feedback from multiple sources.
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.
