This course provides students with a professional qualification to teach children from birth to five years in early childhood education settings. It incorporates introductory and advanced curriculum units, a strong social justice and leadership focus, placement experiences in early childhood settings that exceed minimum requirements, scope to develop and apply research skills in an honours strand, and opportunities to develop strong practical and research skills. Students will study specialist units in early childhood education and development, complemented by generalist units in education and professional studies, as well as elective units of study in the sciences, social sciences and humanities offered by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Science, and the University of Sydney Business School. In the second year, students will begin observing and interacting with small groups of young children (ages three to five). In third year, students will undertake professional experience in an early childhood setting with children from birth to three years. By fourth year, students are expected to be competent to teach in an early learning centre using your professional judgement and autonomy. In the final, fourth-year, 30-day internship will be complemented by a practitioner inquiry research project, in which students focus on an area of specialisation.
