This unit considers the decisions early childhood teachers need to make when organising learning environments in small rural primary schools, selecting the context and developing assessment tools, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of their own teaching and the programmes they develop. This unit focuses on curriculum design for integrated multi-level classrooms in small rural schools and upon professional and managerial relationships in schools. There will be a specific focus on the community in which these schools are located.
