This course has been developed and is maintained by the Early Learning team, as a result of an identified need for professional learning on the Early Years Learning Framework and how it guides early childhood pedagogy and curriculum. The modules will support teachers in preschool, early intervention and the early years of school to know, understand and implement the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia.

The course is part of a suite of six self-paced blended online professional learning modules focussing on the overarching themes, Principles, Practices and Learning Outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework. Participants must complete the modules in order as they have been specifically designed to build on each other.

Each module is NESA accredited in the content priority area of ‘Delivery and Assessment of NSW Curriculum/EYLF’ for proficient teachers.

Target audience

Preschool, early intervention and early years’ educators, supervisors and leaders.
