Produktbeschreibung

Play-based learning has long been a means of facilitating teaching and learning in the early childhood years. The Walker Learning Approach, an Australian-designed, evidence-based play pedagogy, provides a solid base and foundation for intentional and responsive teaching in the early years. The program's systems and practices support teams of early childhood educators in a consistent approach that ensures continuity and predictability for children, educators and families.

Early Childhood Play Matters provides guidance and many practical ideas on implementing the Walker Learning Approach within early childhood learning practices.

Topics include:

• intentional teaching
• how to minimise time spent on planning and documentation while producing clinical and professional records
• how to set up open-ended play learning experiences to promote skills
• how to scaffold with intention and purpose for learning
• how to communicate effectively as an educator
• how to honour and build relationships with children and families.

The book also includes organisational ideas and resources, a full-colour section of photographs, templates for planning, assessment and reporting activities, and a bibliography for further reference.

Early Childhood Play Matters digital resources include:

• Daily/Weekly Record Sheet
• Individual observation and planning record (IOPR)
• Statement of intent: Early Childhood Education generic planning indicator

Early Childhood Play Matters concentrates on the most formative years of education (birth to six years of age), with intentional, rich and rigorous play-based opportunities for young children. It builds upon the successful work that Shona Bass and Kathy Walker have achieved in play-based curriculum in the early and primary years nationally and internationally.
