Management in Early Childhood ATSI Contexts - ABEC340

In this unit students examine a range of early childhood services and management models including those appropriate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The unit aims to acquaint students with the knowledge and skills required for working within and managing young children's programs. Students analyse the current literature on the components of quality and its implications for planning appropriate programs for young children and their families. Topics within this unit help students understand the management requirements of a range of children's services and the impact of relevant government policy. Topics cover the legal, political, financial and administration issues relevant to the role of the Director in services for children, particularly services which include ATSI children. In addition, students examine factors influencing the children's services sector and the role of cultural and community advocacy.
