This specialisation aims to build on ways of working with families and children from diverse backgrounds and develop a critical understanding of the diversity of learning needs to optimise learning for all students. It will enable pre-service teachers to use a variety of research-based literature to develop appropriate curricula and teaching approaches, review, adapt and differentiate existing curricula to meet varied learning needs. Pre-service teachers will focus on ways of supporting language and literacy of children from culturally diverse backgrounds, creating effective environments for managing challenging behaviours and building successful partnerships with families and key stakeholders.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
