In addition to emphasis on Standard 1 (know your students and how they learn) of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, this unit focuses on assessment strategies and appropriate teacher feedback to students (Standard 5). The corresponding Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority’s Curriculum Specification 1 (psychology and child development), 2 (Education and curriculum studies), and 3 (early childhood pedagogies) are also addressed. |
