Students are able to experience the reality of working with children and teachers in an early childhood centre and to use these experiences as the basis of discussion and reflection and the development of evidence-based practice. Talking to the centre teachers will help students to explore and understand aspects of the practice. Assessments will also be able to be linked to real experiences in the centre.
