You will develop critical knowledge and skills in educational studies, including foundations of learning, creating digital tools for education, assessment for learning and foundations of equity, diversity and inclusion. 

This specialization in Early Childhood Studies prepares educators with the flexibility to apply innovations in digital technology and inquiry-based learning while working with young children in various formal and informal settings. Learn more about developing early literacy and numeracy, creating holistic learning opportunities and exploring maker pedagogies (including digital coding) in the early years.
