The Reflecting On Pedagogy template can be used by identifying the pedagogical intent—what you hope children will feel, explore, or achieve—then align your approach with relevant theories or frameworks such as EYLF, trauma-informed practice, or play-based learning. You can use each section to document how the environment is prepared, how child voice is embedded, and which strategies support regulation, inquiry, and inclusion.
The template encourages ongoing reflection, helping educators adapt their practice based on children’s responses, developmental needs, and family input. It’s ideal for team planning, individual documentation, or sector-wide induction, offering a flexible yet structured way to elevate everyday moments into meaningful learning. This template includes:
- Checkboxes
- Textboxes
Note:
This template it is not mandatory, nor intended as a one-size-fits-all approach. Educators are encouraged to adapt, modify, or create their own formats based on the unique needs, voices, and contexts of their children and learning environments.
