Overview

This unit focuses on establishing learning environments that scaffold positive practices and manage learner behaviours. There will be opportunities to draw on your placement experience as you engage with the content of this unit. You will explore and critique 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 examine practical examples and scenarios that frame how to build positive relationships in both physical and virtual learning environments. In this unit, you will investigate, design, and prepare teaching spaces that enhance learning through personalised goal setting. Additionally, you will rehearse responding to diverse student behaviours in ways that prioritise both learning and the development of strong teacher-student relationships. Throughout this unit, you will be supported in reflecting on your role in influencing student behaviour and in developing the skills necessary to foster and maintain a positive, engaging learning environment.
