About this Unit
From 2020 students should note that core units are now taught in semesters rather than half yearly sessions. Practising Pedagogical Leadership is a capstone unit for students in the Master of Teaching (Birth – 5 Years) and is undertaken in the same semester as Professional Experience 3-5 Years.In this unit students apply the principles, practices and outcomes of Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia and understandings of curriculum and pedagogy from other Master of Teaching units to design and implement interest-based projects and integrated curriculum. The focus is on curriculum that connects to children’s social worlds and facilitates children’s in-depth investigations, creativity and critical thinking. Students will also develop their research skills by engaging in research into their own teaching practices.
