I’ve been working in early childhood education as an educator for 10 years now and I hold my Diploma of ECE (CHC50113). I’m thinking of studying my bachelor of ECE (Birth to 8), to work as a teacher in primary schools.
I’m feeling really drawn to taking this path, however I’ve always thrived at skills based training rather than academics, so the prospect of long essays and assignments is quite daunting for me and I don’t know that I could do it. I also have ASD level 2 and ADHD, which greatly impact the way I learn.
I do know that I’m a great educator and that I know what I’m doing, which I’m having to keep remind myself of as I research this path. And if it makes you nervous, it’s probably worth it, right?
Is there any advice anyone could offer me?
I live in Queensland- what universities would you recommend. (I’m wanting to study online)
What are some tips or strategies that helped you while studying?
If you studied your diploma beforehand and enrolled in your degree recently (specifically CHC50113) how many units were you credited and how long did this take off your degree?
Honestly, I would be grateful for any type of advice you have, however big or small.
