Aussie Childcare Network Forum

Hi Everyone,
Just after a few hints to get me started...
I am asked to document my involvement in pedagogical practices on three occasions and give two reflective questions for each.
My problem is that no matter how much info I read up on pedagogical practices I am still stumped when it comes to giving examples??
It seems like it could be almost anything?
Could I use examples of -
- Children were cutting paper but not quite getting the hang of scissors so we decided to try cutting a few different things and following lines etc.??
Reflective questions could be - what other plans can we put into curriculum to aid scissor practice? or Can we use other crafts/activities to strengthen hands/fingers?

Not sure if I'm on the right track and would love to see some more examples if that's ok?
Thanks for any help,
Nicole

Hi Lorina,

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN


Our day care centre Philosophy



At our Learning Centres, we believe family is central to children's learning and development. We strive to work together to build and maintain trusting and respectful relationships with both children and families. We aim to create a learning environment where every child feels respected and supported.



Our Learning Centres staff believe that each child develops their own unique knowledge, beliefs, culture, learning style and values. We acknowledge that families are the child’s first teachers and they are central to their child’s learning. Our educational programmes ensure each child is respected as an individual within a group and is encouraged to reach their full potential.



We believe that children should develop connections and relationships with their communities and that everyone has the right to belong. Children, families and staff in our Centres will develop cultural competence and in the process, create a shared culture where everyone feels safe, included, respected and valued.



Our environments and learning experiences aspire to create positive and trustful relationships, courage, resilience, empowerment and wellbeing. Children are encouraged to be empathetic and caring. They will experience success, joy and celebration, by taking risks in their learning, accepting and embracing diversity, developing confidence in themselves and learning from their mistakes.



We know that children learn best when they are interested, curious and motivated. Educators will have high expectations of children and will work with them to co-construct knowledge through learning strategies such as play, inquiry, investigation and research. Educators will scaffold children’s learning, through a responsive curriculum and a commitment to assist children in their search for meaning.



We acknowledge the many ways that children express themselves and communicate. We afford children a hundred ways to express their ideas: imaginative, symbolic, cognitive and metaphorical. Educators listen, document and assess children’s theories and knowledge and share these through documentation to families and the community.
