The Graduate Diploma of Education (Early Childhood) is designed for experienced early childhood teachers in the education sector who want to deepen their expertise in specialised areas and enhance their career prospects. At Ikon, we consider learning to be a lifelong skill. Whether you are already qualified as an early childhood teacher, or more broadly in education, this program will prepare you to pursue leadership positions or explore roles in other areas of education, such as a specialised teaching professional, education administrator, higher education academic, or educational researcher. This course will provide a deeper understanding of diverse learning, inclusive education, innovative teaching methods, curriculum delivery, leadership skills and research-informed practice.
