While teachers grasp the value of such documentation theoretically, it is most challenging but exciting to use in practical settings. Documentation illuminates teacher theories about children’s understanding: watching such theories change through study of documentation and further teacher research profoundly influences professional development. If you have benefited from free access to ECRP, please consider making a financial contribution to ECRP so that the journal can continue to be available free to everyone. Documentation as Teacher Research Pedagogical documentation is the teacher’s story of the movement of children’s understanding.
EMERGENT CURRICULUM: WHAT DOES IT MEAN? « "FLIGHTS OF WHIMSY" In reality, many educators profess to use an ‘emergent curriculum’ approach in their work with children, but what happens in their preschool environment can seem to be at odds with the philosophy that underpins an emergent curriculum approach.
So I would love to open this up for discussion. Please feel free to join in and help make this a lively conversation that can hopefully be of great benefit to all readers (including me!)

Standard 3.3 of the NQS invites services to take an active role in promoting sustainable practices in the immediate service environment and beyond, as well as fostering children’s respect and care for the environment. The Standard aims to support children to develop positive attitudes and values by engaging in learning experiences that link people, plants, animals and the land and by watching adults around them model sustainable practices.
Many long day care services include environmental practices in their everyday programs – by planting vegetable patches, recycling paper and turning off lights when leaving the room, for example. Sustainability in early childhood Getting started. Lessons from a Teacher. On Wednesday I had a day away from the class to attend a Professional Development run by Jo Harris (CEO RE Early Childhood Co-ordinator) and Sister Christine.
The main focus of the RE in the Early Years- Kindy PD was planning so we spent time looking at the Early Years Learning Framework and looking at different planning formats. We also looked at a number of religious education resources, how to incorporate RE into your programming, how RE fits in with the EYLF and the elements necessary in EYLF programming.
