This unit provides foundational skills in academic study within the context of the theoretical and socio-political landscape of early childhood education. It prepares students to reflect on these contexts in their developing understandings of themselves as teachers in contemporary Australia and provides an understanding of the different educational settings where early childhood teachers are employed. This enables students to begin to understand the roles and responsibilities of teachers and the broader context of the profession. -- Course Website
