Philosophy, Management and Leadership in Early Childhood Education and Care

This subject provides a lens for examining the social, cultural and political contexts that drive the Australian STEM education agenda and associated leadership practices for creating impact, and curriculum transformation. Students will critically explore the impact of STEM identity on career choices and how this is associated with the low representation of women, Indigenous people and others from a diversity of backgrounds. Students will explore the leadership challenges of reversing these participation trends and consider the philosophical debates about the nature of STEM and how this shapes practices in schools and across a range of invested community contexts. An interrogation of integrated learning programs will lead to identifying and developing strategies for a wider impact evaluation of STEM education initiatives.﻿Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’.

Becoming a Leader of STEM Education

This subject integrates a rich understanding of the significance of social justice in educational contexts. It envisions educators at all levels and across contexts as leaders and invites students to reflect on and evolve their philosophy of educational leadership. Through a series of case studies and engagement with social justice theory, students will gain a holistic understanding of the principles of social justice and the skills to recognise and apply them to local contexts. students will explore how educators can hear, recognise and uphold the voices, views and lived experiences of learners, especially marginalised people and communities. Students will engage reflexively with their practice and use theory and research to build an understanding of how to respond to learners, their families, and their communities in a manner consistent with social justice informed leadership. In the assessments, students will apply this knowledge to practical, authentic situations by evaluating and engaging with both their own experiences and resources provided throughout the subject. The subject design and content will reflect and model social justice principles. It will run as a series of integrated modules to give students agency and flexibility in how to engage in their own learning.﻿Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’.
