Engaging with Place through Play

In this unit pre-service teachers will construct knowledge, skills and attitudes to respectfully foreground Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in early childhood education contexts. Drawing on contemporary views of young children's play, pre-service teachers learn how to construct teaching and learning opportunities for young children. In this unit, pre-service teachers undertake a period of teaching in an early childhood setting with children under six years of age. Working with peers, pre-service teachers engage with families and community members to support children's play, development and learning.
