The Graduate Diploma of Early Childhood Education (GDECE) has been specifically designed to grow our students’ abilities to be a self-sufficient, versatile and creative early childhood educator. Students will develop and advance their skills in supporting the learning needs of diverse learners across the curriculum from birth to five years of age. Graduates will build effective relationships with children, families and communities to develop evidence based educational interventions.
Industry professional placement units are embedded in the course and are completed at a regulated early childhood education centre.
As a reflexive professional practitioner, graduates of the GDECE program will be able to register with the Victorian Institute of Teaching to teach in an early childhood setting with children aged birth to five years.
Accredited by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Authority (ACECQA), students study early childhood cognitive, social and physical development along with education theory and curriculum development in an historical context. Classroom management techniques as well as skills in teaching literacy and numeracy are taught in line with national and state early learning frameworks (EYLF and VEYLDF). Industry placement units are embedded into the course providing consistent opportunities for students to implement and develop their practical skills.
