In this short pedagogy byte, Avril demonstrates the importance of ‘tuning-in’ to the strengths of the individual child to create meaningful documentation that reflects the child’s individual context.
THIS CLIP PRACTICALLY DEMONSTRATES:
- How a ‘one size fits all’ approach to documentation can do a disservice to children’s unique strengths, learning preferences and lived experience.
- When Educators understand and embrace a child-led curriculum this empowers children to explore innovative solutions to support learning.
KEY MESSAGE:
‘All children possess strengths that can be nurtured. We just need to take the time to recognise them and respond appropriately’ From Chapter 7: ‘Pulling out the Positives’ in A Suitcase Full of Stories – Pedagogical Documentation for Early Education (McMonagle. A. 2024).
