Introduction

Tēnā koutou,

Nau mai, welcome to your second professional experience paper! This paper will give you an opportunity to build on your learning in TEPRO100 from last year and explore and challenge your assumptions and understandings of teaching and learning in an early childhood education (ECE) context. Being in an ECE setting on an ongoing basis will support the connections you are making between theory and practice. This paper will also give you the opportunity to demonstrate that you have the capabilities and dispositions to support tamariki and their learning in an early childhood education (ECE) setting. If you have any pātai/questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Ngā mihi
