Sustainable childhoods

EDF5869

Synopsis

This unit will enable you to critically reflect on, analyse, and challenge your own philosophy, ethics, and practice, recognising children as moral and ethical, global beings connected to diverse communities. Key understandings of morality, ethics, care, sustainability, and earth-caring, along with other complex current issues impacting children's lives, will be examined, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives. You will have opportunities to plan pedagogical practices that encourage educators and children to challenge their own moral and ethical underpinnings and decision-making, and to take affirmative action as global citizens.
