The subject is only offered to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education program. The purpose of this subject is for prospective teachers to develop an understanding of the individual and contextual factors which influence children's behaviour and to apply this knowledge to building and maintaining positive learning environments. The subject focuses on proactive and preventative measures through the establishment of a healthy learning ecology. It draws upon professional experiences to apply sound theoretical foundations to base approaches to responding to a range of student behaviours while simultaneously promoting student mental health, wellbeing and resilience. The subject provides support for the development of an integrated management plan that reflects the diverse nature of children's behaviour and is informed by both theory and a critical evaluation of personal and professional dispositions.
