In Level B, the curriculum focuses on students learning how to be socially responsive. Students are developing an awareness of the emotions in themselves and others. Students are developing a sense of self and exploring their personal characteristics and abilities. The curriculum provides opportunity for students to participate in a variety of social situations. At this level student involvement in social exchanges is directed and regulated by the teacher.
By the end of Level B, students express a range of basic emotions that indicate their feelings. They explore personal characteristics and abilities. Students focus on a task demonstrating persistence.
Students recognise familiar people and demonstrate ways to interact with others. They respond to teacher prompts to follow basic social rules when working alongside others.
