Assessment - Professional ePortfolio

The intention of the observation report is to identify, analyse and assess the children's area of interest, and use the analysis as a starting point to compose learning experiences or lesson plans. This assessment will examine students understanding of evidence-based learning and how to interpret observations into meaningful and play-based teaching moments to foster children's learning and development. Therefore, strong connections between observation analysis and children's area of interest must be addressed.

In analysing the observations, it is essential and expected that students make frequent reference to the relevant learning frameworks to support and form the analysis. Students are also expected to use academic literature and relevant theories to support their assessment of the observation. An effective and accurate use of APA 7th referencing style is also required in this assessment.

Task description:
Following the early years learning framework planning cycle (Australian Government Department of Education [AGDE], 2022), develop 2 lesson plans or learning experiences for children based on assessment of an observation report. Drawing on principles and practices of early childhood pedagogy (AGDE, 2022), plan the learning experiences with emphasis on play-based learning with intentionality, adopting holistic approaches of children's learning and development.

Task Instruction:
Do an observation of children's learning in the video provided, chose 1 of the videos provided below:
Connecting with practice: Young toddlers' learning
Connecting with Practice: Marking with coloured pencils
Connecting with practice: Discovering- making connections
Connecting with Practice: Discovering - making music

Running records
Anecdotes (Anecdotal records)
Checklists
Learning stories

Jottings
Work samples (artefacts)
Time samples
Event samples
Photographs
Assess the observation report, using references from documents of learning frameworks (EYLF/VEYLDF/NQF/NQS), theories of children's learning and development, and a range of relevant research and literature.
Plan 2 learning experiences (lesson plans) based on assessment and analysis of the observation report.
Provide rationale that includes critical reflection and justification of the learning experience with focus on play-based learning with intentionality, and holistic approaches of children's learning and development.

Criteria:
write an observation report using a particular method of observation and assess the observation report with in-depth analysis.
Develop 2 lesson plans (student can use provided lesson plan template but welcome to write in paragraphs)
Each lesson plan should be developed for teaching one topic, for example "colourful shapes"; "colouring monkey"; "vegetable man"; "five fingers"; "a hungry caterpillar" and so on.
Each lesson plan should be designed with specific learning objectives that can be linked to EYLF.
Each lesson plan needs to meet children's learning and development needs (consider age appropriateness and relevance of the experience).
Each lesson plan should include assessment strategies, learning environment arrangement, safety, and inquiry questions.
