It can mean a philosophy, a program, an approach, or a set of specific materials and activities that are purchased in a box. The Early Years Learning Framework V2.0 describes the curriculum as: “all the interactions, experiences, activities, routines and events, planned and unplanned, that occur in an environment designed to foster children's learning and development”. - Belonging, Being & Becoming V2.0 Collecting information Authentic curriculum requires educators to find out about children’s worlds. Educators plan curriculum with a focus on learning outcomes, environments, contexts for individuals, small and whole group. This curriculum design making is based on teachers’ understandings about, conversations with and input from: children colleagues families community members professional partners. There are many methods of collecting and gathering information, including, electronic, visual and paper based ways, assessments or evaluations that the children are involved in. This information then informs the curriculum and develops meaningful learning experiences for the children. Activity: Read Communication between educators and families occurs during daily greetings and goodbyes, as well as in more formal activities such as family meetings. All of these opportunities require you to be aware of many of the family’s characteristics, including tone, choice of words, and nonverbal communication, such as facial expressions and body language. Read the article below to identify methods of communication. Article: Promoting family engagement: communicating with families What are examples of formal communication methods?

Impact of practice, philosophy and policies As curriculum includes ‘all the interactions, experiences, activities, routines and events, planned and unplanned’ , the service philosophy, operational policies, educator pedagogical practises and all have an impact on curriculum design. Service philosophy A service philosophy reflects the beliefs and values of those who are associated with a service. Together with the Approved Learning Framework, it assists educators in considering the service’s approach to learning, development, and wellbeing. It should al so underpin policies and procedures and guide all aspects of a service’s operations and practices. For more information, visit: Reviewing Your Service Philosophy Operational policies The legal requirement that identifies and minimise risks of various tasks and responsibilities demonstrated by Educators and staff and provide information for families of how situations are handled. For more information, visit: Policy Development In Early Childhood Settings Pedagogical practises Pedagogical practices are practices educators have that facilitate and promote children’s lifelong learning. The learning opportunities and experiences promote creativity, spontaneity, and link theory to practice through an evidence-based approach.

Not all of these are possible in an ECEC service (except in the children’s imaginations). Develop an idea for an activity that could foster an appreciation for the natural environment in children within the context of a service. Review the other students’ answers and comment on at least two posts from other students.

Read the section on Linking beliefs and theoretical perspectives with practise (page 16) and reflect on what influences children’s outcomes. Article: Early Years Learning Framework V2.0 Strategies for planning curriculum After considering the information gathered, the pedagogy and theories related to the specific early childhood context, educators address a range of approaches to plan their curriculum. The strategies below are part of planning curriculum in early childhood settings and involve: linking the collection and analysis of information to planning for each child’s play and learning using the approved learning framework to inform plans with links to principles, practices and learning outcomes incorporating consultation, collaboration and communication with children, families, other educators, communities relevant to the children, families, and service planning environments, opportunities, and experiences using daily interactions to promote play and learning planning intentional teaching strategies documenting the curriculum developing monitoring and assessment strategies and tools. Linking gathered information to planning After collecting and analysing the information on a child that has been gathered in order to keep track of the observation and see the cycle of observation and planning, it is essential that educators link it to the planning document. This step is linking the observation or information to the program and allows for the easy identification of when a follow up experience can take place.

Children are much more likely to succeed and have a strong sense of belonging, when the main features of children’s lives overlap thro ugh strong relationships, and these relationships are incorporated into curriculum planning for their learning. Therefore, educators need to consult, collaborate, and communicate with the children, their families and other relevant stakeholders who play a role in their lives.

Article: Building partnerships with families What are some ways listed to make partnerships with families and community? Activity: Read Read about the requirements from the National Quality Standards for partnerships with family and community. Article: Quality Area 6 - Collaborative partnerships with family and community Planning for environments, opportunities, experiences Planning experiences and the environment is a practise that should involve many stakeholders of the early learning space - mainly children, but also educators and families. The right balance of experiences will ensure children discover the environment and program as appealing and engaging. It is crucial that early learning environments be organised in such a way as to inspire and empower children to be in control of their own learning. An environment with clear boundaries that is rich with open-ended materials and allows children to independently engage in activities, lends itself to positive interactions and learning outcomes. Children should always be involved in planning and implementing opportunities and experiences for them. It is important for children to play an active role in their own learning by: contributing to shared thinking, planning, and organising for learning negotiating ways to follow their interests and ideas engaging in conversations to reflect on what they have learnt.

Video: Intentional teaching: learning through routines (02:22) Intentional teaching Modelling and demonstrating, open questioning, contemplating, explaining, engaging in shared thinking and problem solving to extend children’s thinking and learning can all be examples of intentional teaching in early educational environments. However: when planning for intentional teaching moments, educators should be aware of ensuring a balance between educator-led and child-initiated learning. Children’s plans and their interests should be supported by educators through co - construction of curriculum rather than teacher determined. Co-construction requires educators to support children with deep-level conversations to review their understandings and to develop a range of skills for inquiry, critical and creative thinking.

It is the same when implementing those decisions in the curriculum. Families and children are always at the centre of designing and implementing the curriculum and are the guiding force for decisions that educators make. However, when implementing all or parts of the curriculum, educators need to consider a variety of areas beforehand which can enhance or detract from planning if not considered. These can include: available space either indoor or outdoors amount or availability of resources ages and developmental stage of the children in the groups size of the group interest and specific needs of children in the group (including any special needs) previous experience or knowledge of the children educator staffing arrangements and supervision. Organised prior planning and reflecting helps with smooth implementation. Guided by principles and practices Educators should allow themselves to be guided by their approved learning framework when they are putting plans into practise. This can be done by using the principles and practises that are set out for educators as these in turn help create opportunities and environments that support play and learning and encourage educators to adopt positive learning dispositions. Activity: Think about Read over the practises in the Early Years Learning Guidelines and think about the following areas and how they would influence implementing aspects of the curriculum.

Article: Learning to learn: Positive dispositions as ‘learning curriculum’ Spontaneous teachable moments Educators should identify spontaneous teachable moments as they occur throughout the day and use them to build on children’s learning and development in a meaningful way. Implementing in the moment is about thoughtful educators using interactions with the children to develop their knowledge and build on it right there in the moment. Educators need to be able to identify the “teachable moment” and know how to intervene to support their learning and when to just observe to allow the child to drive their own learning.

Evaluation of teaching and learning helps early years educators to make changes and improvements to their practice, knowledge, interactions, actions, and learning environments and this in turn creates a meaningful space for children to grow. Stagnant and inflexible practises bog down educators and children into rigid strategies which don’t reflect high quality practise. High quality practise involves regularly reviewing and evaluating what you do and how you do it and using that knowledge to improve your practices to ensure what you are implementing has the best outcomes for children. Sometimes, it just takes a little time and reflection to work that out. Collaborative critical reflection Collaborative critical reflection also known as reflective practise is a strategy educator’s employ when evaluating the curriculum. Critically reflective teaching practices encourage teachers to: regularly evaluate their approaches to teaching and learning understand more about the positive impacts of high-quality effective pedagogies on children’s learning become more aware of the importance of high-quality interactions, including strategic intervention and substantive conversations to maximise children’s learning use action research approaches e.g. drawing on alternative teaching strategies to help children to learn when familiar methods fail co- construct learning with children and other partners so it is responsive to the child’s family and community.

Finding the time for this practice, however, can be an uphill challenge. A good beginning point is to consider times that already exist within the daily routine and try to use those moments. Here are some examples: Nap time / rest periods Before families arrive After families depart Staff meetings (in centre-based programs, administrators can build in time during staff meetings to allow teachers to work in small groups or one-on-one to reflect) Curriculum planning time Activity: Watch How can educators critically reflect?

This should be done within the context of the approved learning framework. The EYLF supplies the following questions to help educators to reflect within the practises and principles set out in the document. What are my understandings of each child? What theories, philosophies and understandings shape and assist my work? Who is advantaged when I work in this way? Who is disadvantaged? What questions do I have about my work? What am I challenged by? What am I curious about? What am I confronted by? What aspects of my work are not helped by the theories and guidance that I usually draw on to make sense of what I do? Are there other theories or knowledge that could help me to understand better what I have observed or experienced? What are they? How might those theories and that knowledge affect my practice? The EYLF explains that: “Educators need to feel they can openly question, offer ideas and raise concerns about their own and the service’s practice. Recognising there is no single or ‘right’ way to approach complex issues is also an important element in supporting reflective prac tice”. Vary plans according to interests Part of evaluating teaching and learning is using professional judgment to reflect and vary plans in response to children’s needs and emerging interests. Often educators can confuse extending children’s learning with learning ‘content’ on a certain interes t area. For example, a
