General Information

Overview

In this unit, you will extend your professional knowledge and skills through tutorials and a 30 day placement (inclusive of 5 single days) with children in the year prior to commencing school. You will participate in tutorials to build both theoretical and practical knowledge of the strategies that teachers use to create positive learning environments. Drawing on a body of research, including neuroscience, you will examine strategies to support young children to manage their behaviour and respond appropriately to the behaviour of others. Pedagogies that support children's engagement with and learning in STEM and physical and health education will be implemented during the professional placement. Through critical reflection, you will monitor your professional learning and the strategies that were used to guide children’s behaviour and create a safe and supportive learning environment for all children. You will apply an ethical decision-making framework to examine an incident/s and explore or defend the ethical and professional reasoning underpinning your actions or those you observed in this situation.
