Graduate Diploma of Education (Early Childhood) for 2008

Course overview

This course is designed to develop students' theoretical and practical knowledge in the area of early childhood teaching. Students form a broad conceptual understanding of the field of education as active participants in both on-campus classes and off-campus teaching practicum placements. The Graduate Diploma of Education (Early Childhood) comprises eight units as well as field placement experience. The emphasis is on the underpinning theories in early childhood teaching and the development of a strong understanding of the theories of child development. The course highlights the range of early childhood services and the social context of early childhood provision for children aged birth to five, as well as the need for flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of families and young children. It also addresses the relationship between service provision and the families of young children and develops an understanding of the ethical requirements of early childhood teachers and the practical application of these requirements. Completion of the course will enable students to register with Early Childhood Australia, Victorian Branch.
