who is this for?
This course is for teachers who are new to New Zealand
skill level
Suitable for beginner to experienced ECE teachers and leaders.
Shifting to another country is a significant, and sometimes difficult, transition in itself. Navigating the complexities of a different education system, curriculum and pedagogical approaches is a huge undertaking. This course is designed to provide an overview and introduction to being an ECE teacher for those who have recently arrived from overseas.

The course introduces the New Zealand ECE context, delves into the core aspects of our curriculum and play-based pedagogy and outlines the process of becoming a fully certificated member of the profession here. Although nothing can replace the hands-on experience that day to day experience in an ECE service provides, and of course each service is somewhat different in the way they do things, this course provides context and content designed to make the transition into teaching in New Zealand more readily understandable and less overwhelming.
