EDF4019 Leading positive learning environments

This unit focuses on establishing learning environments that scaffold positive student learning behaviours. You will explore a range of teaching strategies, models and theories that will enable you to understand the reasons for different types of student behaviours including reclusive, refusal, aggressive, acquiescent and engaged. You will be provided with practical examples and scenarios that frame ways to build positive, inclusive and democratic learning environments in both physical and virtual spaces. In this unit you will explore, design and prepare teaching resources and plans that enhance learning opportunities regardless of the location or medium of the teaching. You will consider 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.
