A baby learning to dance, a toddler watering the pot plants, a three year old playing music with improvised instruments and some four year olds on a long learning journey about a shark egg case, are opportunities that practitioners can use to plan for provisions, provocations and possibilities within EYLF.
Joy answers 21 questions that she has been asked in the years since she began writing this series
Some of these questions are:
What do you mean by planning? Is this the programme?
How then, can we communicate our planning to parents? How can they contribute?
What is a provocation?
What do we mean, when we say the environment is the 3rd teacher?
Is the Australian Emergent Curriculum different to what they do in Reggio Emilia?
What if parents want us to do more formal ‘school readiness’ type work?
What is a provision?
What is a possibility?
Does an Emergent Curriculum work with babies and toddlers?
It’s thoughtful, encouraging, practical and reflective and once again delights in the wonders of the young child. This book is designed for practitioners at all experience levels and will support them in their understanding of The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia
