This unit examines positive learning environments in a variety of contexts. It will include analysis of teaching and learning practices that engage children in learning and the development of effective relationships. Students will be encouraged to reflect on the beliefs and assumptions they hold about children, the role of the teacher and why children behave the way they do. This reflective process will assist students in developing an understanding of theoretical models that underpin the management of diverse learning environments. This unit includes the development of skills for effective teaching and learning, connecting with children and dealing with common inappropriate behaviour and the restorative processes.
