What a fabulous opportunity for an Early childhood Teacher in NSW. Be sure to apply. An outstanding opportunity.

Applications close on Friday 6^th of May 2016 for all 2016 NSW Premier’s Teacher Scholarships including the 2016 Premier’s Early Childhood Education Scholarship.

As a result of the generous support of KU Children’s Services, Early Childhood Australia (NSW Branch) and the NSW Government, applications are invited for the Premier’s Early Childhood Education Scholarship.

All teachers currently teaching in a long day care service, pre-school, primary school or a TAFE NSW Institute are eligible to apply.

The award is for a study in early childhood education. It is anticipated that successful applicants would spend up to five weeks involved in a study program. Teachers from NSW government schools/pre-schools and TAFE NSW Institutes will be entitled to leave and the school/institute will be entitled to relief. Teachers from non-government NSW schools, independent early childhood institutions will need to negotiate relief with their employing authority. The recipient’s itinerary must be organised to complete their travel by 30 June 2017.

Time need not be spent in formal study, but may involve a program of visits to sites, schools and institutions to conduct interviews, observe exemplary practices and collect resources for the preparation of teaching materials related to early childhood education.

One scholarship of $10,000 will be awarded in 2016.
