This self-paced course focuses on understanding how children use behaviour to communicate their feelings. It takes a strengths-based approach that is responsive to children, respects diversity and difference and works with family strengths to support children’s social and emotional learning. It provides a range of strategies that you can use to both design safe and supportive learning environments and guide children’s emerging social and emotional skills. 

This self-paced course aims to provide support for educators in mainstream early childhood services who want to cultivate partnerships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities and embed local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and languages in the curriculum.
