EPT122: Early Childhood Programs: 3-5 Year Olds

Bachelor Of Education (Early Childhood and Primary)

For students who began the course in or after 2014

Subject Overview

This is the second in a series of professional experience subjects, building on the initial experiences. It includes a 20 day supervised placement in an early childhood setting for children aged from 3 to 5 years. Students will begin to demonstrate the ability to initiate and sustain positive relationships with individual young children, and guide children's behaviour in positive ways. Students will observe children's play and use these records as a basis for planned experiences. They will reflect on their experiences and adapt their planning in response to feedback and reflection and work collaboratively with their supervising teacher to support children's learning.
