Choice  - Ice play

Learning outcome 1: Frame play-based teaching practices in early childhood contexts from Aboriginal Australian standpoints.

Learning outcome 2: Design curriculum responsive to children aged birth -5 years and families, informed by EYLFNEYLDF.

Learning outcome 3: Formulate teaching practices grounded in reciprocal relationships with children, families, and communities.

ASSESSMENT STRUCTURE

The EYLFNEYLDF planning cycle is a process of observation, analysis, planning, implementing and evaluation used by early childhood teachers and educators to assist in developing quality programs.

To complete your assessment task, follow the below instructions.

Download the Documentation of Planning Cycle Template linked above and make sure you are familiar with the format.

You will be using the videos provided below to observe children and complete your observations.

Choose one (1) video from the list and write one (1) observation using the Documentation of Planning Cycle Template Part 1.

Follow the prompts in the document and make sure to identify the extra-ordinary in the ordinary moments and Analyse the observation and link it to the EYLFNEYLF

Next, plan, implement and evaluate one (1) experience in response to the observations taken using the Documentation of Planning Cycle template part 2.

Implement your planned experience with people you know, or children you care for. For instance, you could gather your family together, and implement the planned experience pretending you are the teacher, and the members of your family are children in a child care centre. Please note, evidence should be provided alongside with your submission.

PLANNING CYCLE

PART 1
Collect Information - Observation
What do you observe or notice? Look for the extraordinary in the ordinary moments by making learning visible.

Question and Analyse - Observation
What do you understand about what you observed? What did you find interesting or extraordinary? What learning is being demonstrated?
What can you extend on? Suggest few experiences. What are the interests and strengths of child/ren observed?
Link the information to EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes.

PART 2
Learning Intention/s to achieve by the end of experience (one or two):
For children to understand... For children to explore...For children to practice... etc

Strategies: What strategies you might use to promote children's interest, play and learning? This might include interations, resources, intentional teaching. You might include some examples of modelling, scaffolding or open ended questions. How will you encourage children to learn from each other? How will the environment support play and learning?Remember to be specific and include the necessary materials, setting e.g., indoor/outdoor etc.

Implement your experience:Provide a step-by-step guide of how the learning experience will be implemented. Include any modifications made to your plan once the experience was implemented. Where there any emergent experience that arose?Give specific examples of children's involvement. What learning processes have you observed the children using (problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, investigating...)?

Review: With the learning aims and the EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes in mind, evaluate the learning and the planning. What worked well?
What can you improve? Do you need to repeat, refine or extend the plan? How will you follow up?

Reflect: What did you learn about yourself and your practice as a teacher. Any changes to your practice as a result?
