A new online resource for early childhood teachers in rural and remote areas will be presented to the Mayor of Dubbo, Councillor Mathew Dickerson, this Thursday 8 December. Known as teacher-ec, the resource was recently launched as part of the Early Childhood Education Workforce Capacity Project (ECEWC). Teacher-ec kits aim to make a valuable contribution to the education of new teachers. Charles Sturt University (CSU) lecturer, Dr Alison Lord, managed the ECEWC project that developed these online resources in line with the federal government’s commitment to ensure every child in Australia has access to quality childcare. “The response to the kits has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Dr Lord. “The kits have given regional and remote educators additional tools to support their continued studies while we have also had several enquiries from metropolitan areas who are interested in using the resources.”
