Description This subject supports a developing understanding of the principles and practices of early childhood curriculum and pedagogy. A range of approaches to curriculum and pedagogy will also be examined. Students will learn about approaches to observing and documenting children’s learning in ways that celebrate children’s competencies and build connections between children, families and educators while also identifying any areas where children’s experiences may be extended. Students will develop strategies for planning and connecting curriculum to children’s social worlds which facilitate children’s in-depth investigations and critical thinking in ways that cater for diverse interests.
