CHCECE012 - Difference Between Approved Frameworks and Relevant Frameworks

[KylieS4660]

Hi, I am completely stuck on this question and was hoping that someone could help me out ... What is the difference between approved frameworks and other relevant frameworks? How do they impact on your day to day work activities?

In our service we only use the My Time, Our Place.

Under the National Law and National Regulations, approved services are required to base their educational program on an approved learning framework. The program should focus on addressing the developmental needs, interests and experiences of each child, while taking into account the individual differences of each child.

The educational program should contribute to the following outcomes:

children have a strong sense of identity
children are connected with and contribute to their world
children have a strong sense of wellbeing
children are confident and involved learners
children are effective communicators
There are two nationally approved learning frameworks which outline practices that support and promote children’s learning:

Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (‘Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)’)
My Time, Our Place: Framework for School Age Care in Australia (‘Framework for School Age Care’).

There are also jurisdiction-specific approved learning frameworks:

Australian Capital Territory: Every Chance to Learn—Curriculum framework for ACT schools preschool to Year 10
Tasmania: the Tasmanian Curriculum, the Department of Education of Tasmania, 2008
Victoria: the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework
Western Australia: the Curriculum Framework for Kindergarten to Year 12 Education in Western Australia.
