Course outline

This course prepares you as an early childhood educator to teach young children in prior-to-school settings (e.g., kindergarten) and the lower years of primary school (Prep-Year 3). You will demonstrate achievement of the Australian Professional Standards for Beginning Teachers as required by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL). The program meets the requirements of the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT) for program accreditation in Queensland. You can be registered as a teacher in each State and Territory of Australia and will have attained the necessary skills and attributes required for employment as an Early Childhood Teacher as defined by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA). The program includes substantial professional experience across the early childhood and primary schooling sectors embedded and connected to on-campus learning. You must complete 95 days of approved professional work, of which the majority must be in an Australian primary school setting. 10 days must be with children birth-2 years, 40 days must be in a kindergarten.

Flagship units in this course cover topics such as Indigenous education, inclusive and trauma-aware education, and digital pedagogies for future-focussed teaching.

This course is covered by the QUT Offer Guarantee.

Note

Incomplete education/teaching studies in Australia: successful completion of the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education (LANTITE) is not an entry requirement for this program. However, if you achieved a ‘satisfactory’ result for one or more component of the LANTITE at another institution, the ‘satisfactory’ result can be carried across to QUT. You are not eligible to apply for a place in the course if one or more component of LANTITE remains at ‘unsatisfactory’ after two test attempts for that component.
