Wellness and Wellbeing in Early Years Education

Order Description

Part A (500 words, 10 marks):

Module 2.1 poses this question: ‘What do your readings tell you about the state of wellness and wellbeing in our society?” You are expected to consider the dimensions of wellness, health and justice, and determinants of wellness and well-being.

Part B (1000 words, 20 marks):

How does this impact you as an early childhood educator? Your response should be specific and demonstrate that you can make links from the theoretical bases (readings) to the practical situation (your centre’s practice). Here you should make some connections with current professional documents (for example, NQS & EYLF in Australia). Suggestions for practice should be developmentally sound and acknowledge (1) the likely diversity of needs that will exist in any group of children and (2) equity issues.
