Trying to Teach

Using the concepts of proletarianization and professionalization, analyse the impact on teaching of the Charter and of the situation described in Trying to Teach, and discuss what they signify about the political, economic and social environment within which teachers work.
Use course materials and outside sources, both secondary and primary. Your answer should be approximately 2000–2500 words (eight to ten type-written pages) in length.

Writing Notes:
• Have a clear thesis statement, that sets the limits on what your paper will cover.
• Statements throughout the paper need to supported by evidence. This is critical in an academic paper. Who is the source, how do you know this, what support is there for this etc. , its not good enough to list sources on a resource page at the end.
• Sources must also be noted when quotes are used, and this too must be directly noted within the paper.

What is wellness and wellbeing and why is it important for children and staff in the early childhood context?

/in /by

Answer the following question:

What is wellness and wellbeing and why is it important for children and staff in the early childhood context?

To complete this assessment, you must study and understand the content and assigned readings for Module 1 and 2. You will consider the definition and theoretical approaches to wellness and wellbeing; including the dimensions of wellness and wellbeing; and biological, environmental, social, cultural and socio-economic determinants that impact on wellness and wellbeing. Additionally, you will consider the application of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the National Quality Standards (NQS) to explain why wellness and wellbeing is important for young children and staff in the early childhood context.

Suggestions for content and word count:

1. Introduction (70-100 words): Give an overview of what you will be discussing in the mini essay. For example, “In this essay, an explanation of what affects wellness and wellbeing and why these are important for children and staff in the early childhood context is given. Initially, the concepts of wellness and wellbeing will be defined and the influences upon these will be explored through a review of biological, environmental, and social determinants. Following this, theoretical and policy perspectives relevant to children and staff in the early childhood context will be examined”.

2. Body (400-460 words):

Paragraph 1: Outline your understanding of the defintion of wellness and wellbeing; include two theorectical approaches explaining the concept of wellness and wellbeing; the dimensions of wellness and wellbeing and how they are impacted by three of the five identified determinants. Please ensure taht your information comes from Module 1 and 2. M

Paragraph 2: Discuss why wellness and wellbeing are important for children. Use both the EYLF and NQS in your discussion.

Paragraph 3: Discuss why wellness and wellbeing are important for educators. Use both the EYLF and NQS in your discussion

Note: Refer to the Early Years Learning Framework [EYLF] and the National Quality Standards [NQS] documents throughout the body of your assessment task. This is an imporant part of your assessments at CSU.

3. Conclusion (70-100 words):

Pull together all the points you have discussed in the three above paragrapghs, offering a final opinion on the mini essay question that relates to these. For example, “In summary, the concept wellness and wellbeing have been explained, including the definition, theorectical approaches alongside the dimensions and determinants that impact on wellness and wellbeing. The reasons why these concepts are significant for both children and staff in the early years have been outlined and linked to both the EYLF and NQS curriculam documents as appropriate. Without a robust foundation of wellness and wellbeing in the early years setting, it is clear that both children and educators might be compromised and therefore unable to fulfil their potential as learners and professionals respectively”.

You are required to use an academic style of writing and reference at least TWO of your assigned readings using APA 7th edition referencing format. CSU referencing information can be accessed here https://cdn.csu.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/3371843/Charles-Sturt-University-APA-7th-ed.-Referencing-Summary.pdf
