This professional experience placement enables ākonga to apply their knowledge, skills, and dispositions to work in early learning services in Aotearoa New Zealand and to demonstrate Our Code Our Standards in a supported environment.

Ākonga will consolidate their experience and knowledge from previous practica and competently and collaboratively contribute to the learning community. Ākonga will incorporate knowledge relevant to local/ regional iwi into their curriculum planning. They will develop their skills to become proactive in building reciprocal and culturally responsive relationships with all members of the learning community. A key focus of this practicum is to develop understanding and skills in assessing and planning for tamariki who require additional support in their learning and development, behaviour or communication. Ākonga will competently co-construct relevant learning with tamariki and their whānau, building on what tamariki know and can do, and design engaging and challenging learning experiences.
