Units of Competency
Welcome to the module Inclusion and Diversity.
This module consists of two (2) units of competency:
- CHCECE030 Support inclusion and diversity
- CHCECE054 Encourage understanding of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures
In this module we look at skills and knowledge required to reflect on and understand the impact of own values and biases, demonstrate respect for inclusion and diversity, and support children’s understanding of inclusive principles and behaviours.
As well in this module you will be looking at the skills and knowledge required to identify different perspectives on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures, develop an understanding of the local and broader cultural contexts, and use the identified information to embed culturally appropriate experiences, interactions, behaviours and physical environments into daily practice with children.
To achieve competency for the 2 units within this module, you must complete all theory assessments at the end of this module (short answer questions, case studies, project and role play) as well as the structured workplace learning and assessment (including Portfolio, Journal, logbook and any other workplace related documentation located in Module 13 SWLA 2).
In the spirit of reconciliation, Swinburne open education acknowledges the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend to all aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples today.
An interactive map of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities can be found here.
