Working in partnerships

This unit is focused on establishing meaningful relationships with families in early childhood and primary education contexts. You will focus on establishing broader contextual community interconnections and partnerships between early childhood services, stakeholders and schools to lead and coordinate a supportive and effective environment for children. The unit content consistently explores and examines the diverse nature of families across education settings.

You will analyse and apply knowledge for establishing practice relating to family involvement and collective empowerment for problem solving and decision making with stakeholder families, co-educators across early childhood and primary schools, professionals and network/services in the community. Reflexive practice throughout problem-based learning workshop engagement of diverse family and community scope, and with teachers in the field, will enable demonstration of effective stakeholder partnership communications.
