Overview

This unit develops your understanding of the curriculum guidelines, documentation, assessment and evaluation policies that are pertinent to early childhood education at local and national levels. You are involved in analyses of pedagogical, social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of curriculum theory, practice, design and assessment that meet diverse learners' needs. You will develop in-depth knowledge of the key elements and requirements of current policy relevant to their local, regional and national contexts. You will explore exemplars of early years programs and planning and how children's activities are assessed, so you can competently and professionally develop practices expected in early childhood learning and care nationally and internationally.
