This unit consolidates understandings relating to the concept of personalised learning and how it relates to the curriculum, assessment and program planning for students with additional learning needs. It is designed to engage students in discussions about ideas of conformity, diversity, labelling, exclusion and inclusion. This unit will introduce students to the wide network of community supports and a transdisciplinary approach to supporting learners including the child mental health care system, the Department of Human Services, allied health workers and Child Protection. Students will learn how to use a variety of assessment tools and employ teaching and support strategies and support networks to assess and plan for learners with additional needs. They will develop skills in collaborating with families and communicating clearly with parents providing evidence for meeting the APST 5 and 7.
