Curriculum, planning and assessment

This unit foregrounds curriculum theories and their application to teaching and learning in early childhood education. It aims to develop your understanding of curriculum guidelines, frameworks, documentation, assessment and evaluation. In addition, the unit considers the regulatory bodies that are pertinent to the early childhood education field nationally and globally. You will critically analyse curriculum documents to develop an understanding of how policies and legislative requirements intersect and inform curriculum development, learning and assessment. You will develop curriculum knowledge to plan, document and assess for learning in ways that meet diverse learners' needs, including attending to the learning strategies to support the learning of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. You will have the opportunity to explore and use technology to provide feedback to, and support learning, among diverse learners.
