NCEA Level 2 Early Childhood Education
Although this years timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place next year.
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs A. Hassett.
Early Childhood Education
Prerequisite: Students must be available for a week-long Practicum in Term 3.
For second language students a minimum of 5.5 IELTS is a prerequisite.
Selection to be confirmed by HOD and Yr 12 Academic Dean
Students must have a genuine interest in a potential career in the education of young children.
The course for next year will contribute towards NCEA Level 2 and 3.
The course has a major practical component of one week in an Early Childhood setting, that is based around the theory studied in class. One assessment will be completed while students spend time in an ECE centre. In order to be in an Early Childhood setting, students will be required to undergo a vetting process. This is carried out by an office staff member who is registered to do so.
Students can take this course either as a Yr 12 or Yr 13 student. Yr12 students who have not taken this subject in Yr 11 but have met the prerequisites, can undertake this course at the discretion of the HOD and confirmed by the Yr 12 Academic Dean.
A First Aid Certificate will be offered during the year and will need to be completed, alongside the ECE Unit Standards.
The standards listed below are the likely standards to be taken. However, this may change depending on the make-up of the class and availability of resources for the unit standards. Any changes that have to be made will modify the credits available.
