Soon I will be completing by Bachelor of Early Childhood Education course at Monash University, and I am seeking employment for a teaching position in 2014 in a preschool or primary setting.
Having studied this course I have gained an understanding of both the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Australian and Victorian Essential Learning Standards (AusVELS).
I enjoy working alongside others and am also reliable to work independantly. With a` background in art and music, I believe I can create varied and exciting learning experiences for young children incorporating a variety of materials
creative arts and music also enable me to make meaningful links when integrating areas.
I strongly believe in the importance of being a community member, and involving the parents and guardians into the childrens education. Building partnerships with families enables us to better understand the needs of the children in our care.;
With a history of casual jobs in hospitality whilst studying, I have many years experience working with, and for people. Also having worked at a childcare centre and completing numerous placements in a number of early childhood settings, I understand the value and importance of communication and teamwork. within and educational setting. This makes me a flexible and adaptable learner and worker.
Early November I will be doing my First Aid Level 2 and Anaphylaxis training. I have a current working with children check and am in the process of attaining my VIT registration.
I look forward to attending professional development courses and continuing my learning to be the best educator I can be to benefit the children of today and meet their needs.
