Pre-recorded video
This short pre-recorded video provides an overview of the process of updating the Approved Learning Frameworks, and is an resource for watching prior to the first webinar in this series. In this video, you will hear from the six project leaders – Fay Hadley, Linda Harrison, Susan Irvine, Lennie Barblett, Jennifer Cartmel and Francis Bobongie Harris as they summarise the purpose of the update and the three stages undertaken to deliver the updated frameworks. This process ensured that the EYLF V.2 and MTOP V.2 are current and support effective foundations for the provision of high quality education and care across the early childhood and school aged care sectors.
Webinar 1: Overarching vision of the frameworks
The first webinar in this series delves into the key changes and refinements of the overarching vision of the Approved Learning Frameworks, including strengthening Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspective throughout the Frameworks, and how cultural responsiveness is woven throughout the Vision, Principles, Practices and Learning Outcomes of the updated Frameworks. Professor Lennie Barblett and Dr Francis Bobongie-Harris, as well as some of the educators involved in the pilot will share what the key updates were, and how these were informed by contemporary resources, comprehensive stakeholder engagement, and the piloting of proposed updates in a variety of contexts.
Webinar 2: Sustainability
In the second webinar in this series, we will unpack one of the new Principles in the updated Approved Learning Frameworks – Sustainability. We explore the interconnectedness of environmental, social and economic sustainability, and what this looks like in early childhood and school aged care settings. Join Professor Susan Irvine and Professor Linda Harrison as well as some of the educators involved in the pilot as we unpack this newly added Principle and develop a shared understanding of the role sustainability plays in living in the now and securing our future.
Webinar 3: Play, leisure and intentionality in MTOP
In the third webinar in this series, we explore key changes in the updated My time, our place: Framework for school age care in Australia that strengthen the connection between play, leisure and intentionality. Join Associate Professor Jennifer Cartmel and Dr Francis Bobongie-Harris, as well as some of the educators involved in the pilot as we deepen our understanding of intentionality while becoming more familiar with the Vision, Principles, Practices and Learning Outcomes of the updated Framework.
Webinar 4: Assessment, evaluation and planning cycle in MTOP
In the final webinar in this series, we delve into key changes in the updated My Time, Our Place: Framework for school age care in Australia that align assessment and evaluation for wellbeing, learning and development. Join Associate Professor Jennifer Cartmel and Associate Professor Fay Hadley, as well as some of the educators involved in the pilot as we extend our understanding of the Planning Cycle that features in the updated My Time, Our Place Framework. The Practices of assessment and evaluation within the Planning Cycle will be explored, including how children and young people can be engaged in documenting and reflecting on their own learning.
