Aims and objectives

In this unit, pre-service teachers explore theories of social and emotional development that enable children to build a sense of wellbeing and identity in addition to developing resilience. This unit provides pre-service teachers with the knowledge and skills required to develop positive relationships with children. Pre-service teachers are introduced to the major perspectives of understanding and supporting behaviour and explore how these relate to behavioural and educational theories and practices. They explore the role and practice of external agencies and professionals in supporting children, young people, teachers and families.
