This unit critically explores evidence-based research about teaching and learning language and literacy in contemporary early childhood contexts, with an emphasis on how practitioners can use this knowledge to lead change in education policy and practice. It identifies and analyses philosophical and pedagogical models of literacy teaching and learning in different contexts. Ways of analysing and responding to language and literacy learning are examined and used to develop effective learning environments and programs. Stakeholder views of early language and literacy, including those of the administrator, teacher, child and parent will be identified as a means of leading and sustaining change, particularly in relation to the rapidly changing early childhood landscape towards assessment driven curricula.
