The Early Years Learning Framework has a strong emphasis on play-based learning as this is the best vehicle for young children’s learning and the most appropriate stimulus for brain development. The framework also recognises the importance of communication and language (including early literacy and numeracy) and social and emotional development.

Framework selected:
My time, Our Place
Primary goals of this framework:
Framework for School Age Care in Australia is designed to inform the development of a program that enhances school age children’s experiences and development through planned leisure activities. This framework aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework and supports children to transition from early childhood to school age services. It focuses on outcomes for children attending a quality school age care service
and suggests the type of experiences that are offered to achieve these outcomes.

In broad terms, what do the frameworks say about the value of quality education and care for children?

A---The Early Years Learning Framework has a strong emphasis on play-based learning. The framework also recognises the importance of communication and language (including early literacy and numeracy) and social and emotional development. In addition, the framework has a focus on successful transition to formal schooling.
My Time, Our Place in school age care settings teachers collaborate with children to provide play and leisure opportunities that are meaningful to children and support their well being, learning and development. The Framework aims to extend and enrich children’s well being and development in school age care settings.

Are there any identified learning outcomes for children? If so, what are they?

A---Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners

In a supportive active learning environment, children who are confident and involved learners are increasingly able to take responsibility for their own learning, personal regulation and contribution to the social environment.

A---Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners

Children’s learning is dynamic, complex and holistic. Physical, social, emotional, personal, spiritual, creative, cognitive and linguistic aspects of learning are all intricately interwoven and interrelated.

What is the role of the educator in implementing the frameworks?

A---As teachers we can employ strategies such as guiding, facilitating, scaffolding, supporting and co-constructing in order to direct children toward outcomes for learning. Being intentional with what, how and why we teach requires careful consideration on how content for learning is shaped between adult-guided and child-initiated learning experiences.

How can the frameworks assist educators in designing a curriculum?

A---Planning is a dynamic and ongoing process that involves working in partnership with children and families. Consult with children and families on an on-going basis will make for effective planning that begins with the gathering of rich information about children, families, community as it will open opportunities and experiences to support play and learning of the children.

Who are the key participants involved in implementing the framework?

A---Planning and documenting of the children’s play and learning is an important part of our professional role. Using our assessments of children’s learning this provides us with the tools to create a meaningful and responsive curriculum for children. It also enables us to make children’s learning visible and show evidence of what and how we can promote the children’s learning and development.

Oh and this one as well..

How do you plan to work closely with others and under supervision to help implement an approved learning framework? Alternatively, if you are working in an early childhood setting, briefly explain how you already go about this.

A-----When educators work effectively together as a team that they can create quality experiences and environments for children. The frameworks demand that educators are thoughtful and purposeful in what they do. To use their knowledge, experience and ability to apply the service philosophy to guide their decision making so that children have the best possible opportunities.

I think your responses are good!

In regards to this question "Are there any identified learning outcomes for children? If so, what are they?" wouldn't this refer to all the outcomes (1-5) in the EYLF/MTOP framework?

Sorry bout my late response I've had prior family commitments these past few days..
