EDMAS6065 Building positive learning environments
This unit focuses on how to build positive learning environments where all students can learn effectively and flourish. Using an ecological model, PSTs examine the complex factors that influence student behaviours in classrooms. They examine research-informed approaches for creating calm and productive learning environments, for developing learning routines and growth mindsets, for establishing values and clarifying expectations, and for proactively preventing disruptive behaviours and enhancing student responsibility. PSTs learn about effective communication skills and ways to build positive relationships with students and parents/carers. They learn how to manage challenging behaviours, use restorative approaches, become trauma informed practitioners, and about whole-school approaches that foster positive action and consistency. PSTs also examine teacher resilience and reflect on strategies to enhance personal wellbeing.
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.
