ECED829: Early Childhood Postgraduate Internship
This unit is designed to enable students to refine their role as an early childhood teacher and to take substantive responsibility for working with young children, staff and families. During the internship, students will have opportunities to develop confidence in justifying their professional decision-making and in responding to the challenges of daily work in an early childhood centre. Students will consolidate their appreciation of teacher research by demonstrating a depth of knowledge about a selected aspect of early childhood practice. The internship is based on a 30 day placement to be completed as three days a week over ten weeks. Students may complete the internship requirements in their own workplace if appropriate.
