Hi Everyone
I am doing diploma in Early childhood education and care. I'm more inclined to teach children with special needs. What education do I have to get to teach in primary school special education. I do not wish to do bachelors degree. Can I do graduate certificate? What are the options in NSW Sydney.
Thanks

Since you are wanting to teach children in a primary school you will still need to complete a bachelor's degree...
Another option that you have is an Inclusion Support Worker in an early childhood setting. As an inclusion support worker, you will support individual children with additional needs (this could include a physical disability, a child that may not speak English, a child with a behavioural issue) etc.
You can also do a Certificate IV in Education Support, this enables you to assist teaching staff in schools in managing the classroom, improving behaviour and dealing with children with special needs. So this may be something you can look into.
Hope this gives you some options!

I already have a masters degree but not in education & not from Australia. Will I be considered in that case? More inclined to work with children with special needs. Looking for short term courses.
