This unit examines issues around human diversity both in schools and the wider community. Modules one and two are designed to examine pedagogical and professional implications of concepts such as social justice, environmental sustainability and civic participation in personal and global contexts. Module three adopts an ecological perspective to analyse and evaluate issues facing children and families who are considered to be socially isolated and at risk for poor educational outcomes, with specific focus on children from Indigenous and NESB backgrounds, and children with disabilities. Theory and practice are considered in relation to planning and program development in schools. -- Course Website
