ABEP230: The Early Childhood Environment in ATSI Contexts
In this unit students build on their skills and their understanding of children’s learning. Students consider factors that influence children within diverse social and physical environments, with particular emphasis on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their communities. Strategies that enhance learning and enable young children to develop competence in their relationships in group settings are introduced. The unit includes a series of orientation days and a 15 day period of teaching with young children aged 0–2 years or 3–5 years. Focus during the field day teaching period is on enabling students to implement a range of teaching strategies, develop their ability to guide children’s behaviour and plan for children’s learning based on planning for the individual in the context of the group.
