Overview

This unit focuses on establishing learning environments that scaffold positive practices and manage learner behaviours. You will explore a range of teaching strategies, models and theories that will enable you to create structured, safe and positive classrooms, that respond to diverse whole school behaviour frameworks using consistent, rules and routines. You will be provided with practical examples and scenarios that frame ways to build positive relationships in both physical and virtual spaces. In this unit you will explore, design, and prepare teaching environments that enhance learning through personalised goal setting. You will rehearse how to respond to diverse behaviours in ways that prioritise learning and ongoing teacher-student relationships. You will be supported to consider your role in student behaviour and the skills you need as a teacher to foster and maintain a positive learning environment.
