Documenting learning

This professional learning package has been developed by Claire Warden and ECA in partnership. Explore Claire Warden’s popular documentation and planning methodology, the Floorbook Approach and Talking Tubs, designed to create a balance between adult intentionality and child autonomy.

Rod Soper presents this inspiring rediscovery of the Planning Cycle and challenges us to consider how we can use the Planning Cycle to reinvigorate not only our thinking, but how we approach children’s learning and development.

Expanding on ideas and concepts developed the module ‘Documenting and assessing children’s learning’ by Dr Anne Kennedy, Part II focuses on using this understanding as the foundation of the educational program—for each child’s learning and development and for future programming.

This module has been developed to provide an understanding of how documenting and assessing children’s learning helps educators gain a deeper understanding of children’s interests, strengths and abilities, and how educators use this knowledge to support and extend children’s learning.
