ECCOP3002 Ethical Teaching and Leadership
This capstone unit for Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) explores ethical teaching and leadership in early childhood education. PSTs examine philosophical, theoretical, and legislative perspectives to critically shape their professional identity and ethical practice. Emphasis is placed on advocacy, reflective practice, and research-informed leadership that promotes collaboration and inclusion. Through engagement with leadership styles, communication strategies, and change management, PSTs will develop the capacity to lead teams, build partnerships, and foster positive organisational culture. The unit consolidates professional knowledge, pedagogy, and leadership capability in preparation for the final 10-day professional placement with children aged 3-5years. Under the supervision of a mentor teacher, PSTs will take responsibility for all aspects of the curriculum including routines, planning, team teaching and documentation.
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).
2026 student contribution amount: $1,185
2026 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,185
* 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.
