Master of Teaching (Early Childhood)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

You will learn through our clinical model of education, which is unique in Australia. Connecting with our latest research you will become skilled in assessing individual student abilities and being able to adapt your teaching to support the needs of each student in your classroom as they grow and develop over time.

In your final year, you will undertake a professional work integrated learning experience deeply exploring an area of learning of your choice. This includes a placement relevant to your chosen topic which can be in non-education settings such as hospitals, museums, art galleries and more. This experience provides an opportunity for reflection and growth that aligns with the continuous professional learning approach in teaching practice.
