What is EDEC3018 about?

This professional experience unit includes both a theory and a practical component (a placement with children aged 3 - 5 years). Throughout the unit, approaches for creating emotionally supportive, equitable, healthy, safe and effective learning environments are critically examined. The design of supportive environments is contextualised within collaborative partnerships and positive reciprocal relationships with children, families, and communities. The unit emphasises the application of differentiated learning, teaching and assessment approaches to meet the diverse needs of children in this age group. The examination of data relevant to early childhood education and the implications for learning and teaching are explored. The professional experience practical assessment is a 4-week full-time block placement intended to enable practical application of knowledge and skills covered in the theory, along with providing further insights into the complexity of the teacher’s role. All required clearances to work with children must be obtained and valid, and all other professional experience requirements met. Both theory and practical components must be passed in order to pass the unit.
