EDEC3011: EC Professional Experience 3
2025 unit information
Third of four professional experience units in the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) providing opportunities for students to gain teaching experience in early childhood education settings. During this placement, students take greater responsibility for curriculum planning and implementation, deepen their critical thinking as reflective practitioners, and continue to refine their teaching philosophy. Students undertake a pedagogical documentation and explore how best to support children as they prepare for transition to school. To build students' understanding of management and leadership roles and responsibilities, students spend one day shadowing the centre director.
