Overview
This unit further develops your understanding of supporting children through periods of change and transition in their lives so they can be confident, creative and involved learners. You will research and critically analyse a variety of theoretical perspectives around social, cultural, emotional and language development, and other factors that mediate and influence the child's ability to participate and contribute in diverse contexts. The focus of this unit is on the development of skills that facilitate processes of researching and critically analysing, theoretically informed pedagogical strategies to support children through change and transition. By researching the traditions, routines and practices of children's life worlds, you are given the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of children's learning and development in diverse and complex contexts. You will explore possibilities for ethical, innovative and collaborative work with families and other professionals to enable children's mobility and agency across experiences of change and transition.
