About this Unit
In this unit students critically review the ethical, legal and professional accountabilities of early childhood teaching within a complex socio-political context. The conceptual frames of pedagogical and community leadership afford the opportunity to interrogate discourses associated with advocacy, leadership and management across a range of settings. Students will explore dimensions of effective leadership and management practices and consider the efficacy of new and emerging policies and resources in the field.
