Building the best ECE workforce

Early Childhood Education at VU is currently undertaking a pilot study on the practices of expert teachers in Victorian early learning contexts. A larger project will emerge from this to examine what the necessary skills and attributes of graduate-ready ECTs are, how skills and professional identity are built over time. Understanding the ways in which expert teachers impact the lives of children and families, as well as policy and curriculum, will influence the design and delivery of early childhood courses in Victoria.
