When developing a curriculum, educators often focus on what they will teach, but how much time is spent considering how learning will be implemented, and experienced by children?

This session explores the what, how, and why of intentional teaching, supporting educators to be deliberate, purposeful, and thoughtful in the ways they facilitate, extend, and respond to children’s learning and development.

Overview

What you'll learn

A pedagogy of intentionality means that in all aspects of curriculum planning and implementation, educators make deliberate, thoughtful and purposeful decisions to support children’s learning. A highly intentional approach to implementing plans ensures educators can articulate their pedagogy and effectively scaffold children’s learning to help children reach their fullest potential.

By drawing from the planning cycle, this session delves into scaffolding as an intentional teaching strategy and breaks down the planning of experiences into the what, how, and why.

Highlights

What you'll take into practice

  • Understand what scaffolding is and how it links to curriculum planning.
  • Identify scaffolding strategies through critical reflection and collaborating with the team.
  • Explore considerations for planning scaffolding strategies and understand how the EYLF is used as a resource for planning.
  • Understand how thoughtful consideration and planning of scaffolding strategies prior to implementing experiences can enrich learning for children.

I’ve developed a stronger understanding of different scaffolding strategies to support my planning and documentation for children.
