Management and Leadership 1 - The Socio-Political Context of Teaching - ECH315
This Unit introduces students to the macro context in which they teach. Students will critically consider the socio-political context of early childhood education; management and governance structures of schools and prior-to-school settings; and the accountabilities for which early childhood teachers are often responsible. From studying this Unit students will develop foundational understandings of effective management and leadership, skills in policy development, and critical understandings of children’s rights and quality early childhood education.
