Overview
The Big Picture, 6e examines the personal and professional skills needed to be an early childhood educator. It provides students with a practical introduction to working in a children’s service environment and helps to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
This text supports training delivery in Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care (CHC30121), and introduces the Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics and the challenges that may be faced when working with families and children. The author also emphasises the importance of knowing the traditional areas of early education and development, and links them to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the National Quality Standards (NQS).
- A new chapter (10) "Supporting children's understanding of inclusion and diversity" includes new content to address core unit CHCECE030 "Support inclusion and diversity" and core unit CHCECE054 "Encourage understanding of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people's culture."
