Bachelor of Education - BEd in Early Childhood and Primary Alphacrucis University College Sydney

This course is for people who sense a calling to primary teaching or early years education.

The Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood and Primary) – BEEP – is an Initial Teacher Education (ITE) program, designed to meet the ACECQA standards for early childhood teaching program assessment and the Graduate Teacher Standards Descriptors – professional knowledge, professional practice and professional engagement at the undergraduate teacher level. It equips students for provisional registration as generalist teachers for early childhood teaching and all primary school year levels.

It provides a core of pedagogy in each of the Key Learning Areas (KLAs) and professional experience. In addition to developing general skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication, graduates will be equipped with theoretical knowledge in curriculum development and pedagogy, to equip them for classroom teaching.

We tailor learning and teaching to students’ individual needs, in small classes where each student is known and mentored. Most students choose blended learning: students come on campus for a one-week seminar for each subject and complete the remainder online. However, all our subjects can now be studied fully online.* Students can also choose to apply to study at one of Alphacrucis's school hubs.
