Extending on understandings of educational and developmental theories, Early Childhood
Education 1 introduces preservice teachers to policy and curriculum through the National
Quality Framework; in particular the Early Years Learning Framework. Play-based pedagogy
and the curriculum decision-making cycle are developed through theory and a Professional
Experience placement, where preservice teachers plan, interact, monitor, assess and
reflect with children in a birth to 2 year-old setting. Preservice teachers will begin
to explore their professional identity through an examination of the historical and
sociological roots of Early Childhood Education in Australia and reflection of their
roles as agentic teachers in-becoming. Ten (10) full days of Professional Experience
in a birth to age 2 setting will offer students the opportunity to link theoretical
learning to classroom practice.
