The Wellbeing and Behaviour specialisation has been developed in conjunction with practising teachers and professionals working with at risk students. The specialisation offers an opportunity for educators to further develop their skills, knowledge and understanding of classroom management, trauma, and positive psychology and the interplay between them. The specialisation is practical and focuses on developing skills in working with students, especially those from trauma backgrounds, with a view to supporting them on pathways to academic and personal success. The unit set offers educators an opportunity to critically assess current trends in classroom management, challenge personal and system wide assumptions about wellbeing and student behaviour. Further, educators will enhance their skills in dealing with challenging behaviours and trauma whilst contemporaneously building both personal and student resilience and wellbeing, within a diverse range of education contexts.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
