About this Unit
In 2010 this unit replaced by 101576 - Primary Personal Development, Health & Physical Education (PDHPE). Primary teachers need in-depth understanding of the curriculum that they will be implementing. This unit provides on-site learning opportunities in which student teachers explore a key learning area in depth. Students work in a collaborative relationship involving an educational community and the university to develop and implement a project that strengthens their understanding of a key learning area and benefits the context in which they worked.
