This unit builds on understandings gained in ECST110. It focuses attention on pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning with children aged birth to three years. The unit introduces students to research relating to how infants and toddlers learn and the impact of childcare on their learning and development. Students will engage in a critical analysis of planning approaches, teaching strategies and assessment techniques that are recommended for infants and toddlers. They will work in groups to plan an effective learning environment for children in this age group. -- Course Website
