What do we want to achieve?
You will see work from one school based on each theme. As you follow through the theme, you will see:
- How the practitioners view the theme
- What it looks like in their classrooms
- How learning emerges and develops
- The roles of language and conversation
- How teachers and children make connections with their learning
- How the learning merges with what they bring to the classroom.
You will see how the practitioners emphasise a ‘
child – adult’ relationship.
How you can use it?
The unit works in two ways.
You might wish to follow a complete theme - either ‘
Exploratory Play’, ‘
A Conversational Approach’ or ‘
Emergence’.
Or you may wish to follow a strand across the three themes, for example, ‘
Valuing exploratory play’, ‘
Valuing a conversational approach’ and ‘
Valuing emergence.’
‘
Reflective Journeys’ show how different people have used the ideas in the unit to suit their purposes.
If
you want to explore these ideas ‘
Developing Your Practice - Making a Difference’ shows ways to start.
