The aim of this subject is to understand the issues that impact on children from diverse linguistic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds and to develop a range of teaching strategies to teach these children. The way in which teaching can contribute to a more equitable and just society, is also a component of this subject. The increasing diversity in schools and early childhood services provides both opportunities and challenges. Current and future teachers need to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to maximise the opportunities that cultural diversity offers and minimise its challenges. In this subject students will learn how to design learning experiences for diverse learners. This includes developing knowledge and skills relating to applying culturally inclusive curriculum and pedagogical approaches, differentiating teaching approaches and assessment for a range of learners, and utilising a range of existing frameworks required for their context. Students will design a differentiated unit of instruction and complete a rationale for their design. In designing the unit they will consider the learning strengths and needs of children from specific diverse groups in the community, including Indigenous Australian children, children from culturally, linguistically and socially diverse backgrounds and gifted learners.
