Leadership in Early Childhood: Social Policies and Social Systems - ECH453
This unit is of interest to students seeking employment in both prior-to-school settings and the expanding child and family sector. The focus is on extending student's knowledge of the broader social policy arena including key issues in both national and international children's policy. Students undertake an analysis of one country's policies for early childhood education, highlighting strengths and weaknesses and reflecting on the situation for Australia's children. The unit aims to develop in students key skills in policy analysis, advocacy, marketing and the use of technology to enhance their ability to promote clear and relevant messages about the importance of early childhood education at the local, national and international level.
