Continuous Cycle of Planning
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2016 4:22 pm
I and many of my colleagues are struggling with the observation and planning, nothing we do seems to satisfy. When I came across aussiechildcarenetwork I thought this was the answer to all our headaches. I sent my fdc coordinator the downloaded sample to see if this was sufficient and received the following reply.
"The example you sent is a good observation, interpretation and link to EYLF with one idea for a ‘future plan’ to build on the child’s exploration and discovery – this is only part of the journey, because the ‘future plan’ needs to be observed and then Interpreted and linked to EYLF with ideas for further extension or new plans. There needs to be a continuous cycle of planning."
If this is the case then how do you keep building on to the "continuous cycle" Does this mean you only report on one observation continuously?. My coordinator gives no guidance on this except to continue saying the above statement. I understood the observations and planning to be on different observations on the child over time not only the one subject continuously, how is this possible surely building on one observation ideas have to run out eventually.
Help I'm at my wits end
