Early Childhood Education - Support
Course details
About the course
These units aim to give students a foundation of knowledge in expected behaviour and practices that they will encounter in various education roles. They give an understanding of the development of children and how these behaviours can be inhibited or enhanced in an Early Learning Centre service. Also, knowledge and tasks that a teacher aide can be responsible for, develop useful skills for working with students with special needs and adapt resources to ensure inclusion for all children.
