Programming and Planning in Early Childhood Settings
Leonie Arthur, Bronwyn Beecher, Elizabeth Death, Susan Dockett, Sue Farmer
Programming & Planning in Early Childhood Settings explores a range of approaches to curriculum and to documenting childrena s learning in early childhood settings. This valuable resource for early childhood education students and practitioners provides a broad view of the concepts and issues in early childhood curriculum. Chapters reflect ongoing discussions about what is meant by the terms a planninga and a programminga in the context of early childhood, what is authentic curriculum for young children,and effective teaching strategies to extend young childrena s learning. The strong focus on sociocultural theories of learning promotes awareness of childrena s diverse experiences, competencies and learning styles, and helps readers recognise the need for collaborative partnerships between educators, children and families in order to develop appropriate programs. Thoroughly revised in response to recent developments such as the introduction of the Early Years Learning Framework , this well-known text retains the practical emphasis of previous editions. Numerous real-life examples, reflections, articles and case studies aid students in understanding a variety of educational theories, philosophies and frameworks. Throughout the book there is a focus on the processes of reflection, evaluation and ongoing improvement.
