EDECE3027 Identity, language and culture: Supporting children and families
In this course Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) will examine children's identities as shaped by their culture and home languages and consider the responsibility teachers have in supporting a strong sense of identity. The course will explore ways to promote children's cultural competence, to enable them to understand, communicate with and interact with people across cultures. PSTs will develop plans for establishing inclusive early childhood environments that foster a positive sense of identity and support diverse languages and cultures. They will also create resources to support children and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
