How qualified is our early learning workforce?
|
Early childhood educators play a key role in our little ones' learning and bring expertise and enthusiasm to the job.
At high quality early childhood education (ECE) services, educators develop their own learning on an ongoing basis and use effective teaching methods to engage children and extend youngsters’ thinking and other skills.
That said, not every adult at a teacher-led ECE service will necessarily be a trained teacher. Here we look at the qualifications currently required in the ECE workforce and explain how things are changing, going forward.
