PART 1
Collect information - Observation What do you observe or notice? Look for the extraordinary in the ordinary moments by making learning visible. observation is written that strongly highlights the extra ordinary moment that makes leaning very visible.
Question and analyse observation What do you understand about what you observed? What did you find interesting or extraordinary? What learning is being demonstrated? What can you extend on? Suggest few experiences. What are the interests and strengths of children observed?Link the information to EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes. Analysis is very rich reflecting deep understanding of the extraordinary moment and learning. Interests and strengths of the children are clearly identified. Extensions are strongly related to observations. Strongly linked to EYLF/VEY LDF.
PART 2
Plan Learning Intention/s to achieve by the end of experience (one or two):For children to understand... For children to explore...For children to practice... etc. Strategies: What strategies you might use to promote children's interest, play and learning? This might include interactions, resources, intentional teaching. You might include some examples of modelling, scaffolding or open ended questions. How will you encourage children to learn from each other? How will the environment support play and learning? Aims are strongly related to child/ren's understanding and to EYLF/VEY LDF. A wide variety of strategies used that demonstrate strong understanding of the planning process.
Act and Do (Implementation) Implement your experience. Did you need to modify for any reason? Any emergent experiences that arose? Give specific examples of children's involvement. What learning processes have you observed the children using (problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, investigating...)? Clear description of the implementation process: modifications while implementing, emergent experience s, examples of involvement, learning observed
Review and Reflect (Evaluation) Review: With the learning aims and the EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes in mind, evaluate the learning and the planning. What worked well? What can you improve? Do you need to repeat, refine or extend the plan? How will you follow up? Reflect: What did you learn about yourself and your practice as a teacher. Any changes to your practice as a result? Planning and implementation were very thoroughly reviewed. Deep and specific reflections on practice was made.
