This unit focuses on the principles and theories of assessment for effective teaching and learning. Students will be provided with the opportunity to put these into practice during professional experience in early years settings.

In-School Experience:

• Students completing the four-year Bachelor of Teaching and Learning Early Childhood (BTLEC) undertake 20 days of professional experience, including a 3 week block (Monday to Friday).
• Students completing the two-year Bachelor Early Childhood Learning (BECL) undertake 30 days of professional experience as a 6 week block (Monday to Friday).
• As placement settings are mostly Australian based, students enrolled in this unit must provide a current police check/working with children card to the educational setting and CDU Professional Experience Office prior to the commencement of the professional experience.
• It is recommended that students considering enrolling in this unit view additional information about placement dates, professional experience recommendations, and requirements and guidelines paperwork available via the InSchool website.
