Pedagogical Awakenings: Exploring the Circularity of Pedagogical Transformation in the Early Years Learning Framework (2022 V2.0)

Sep 29 2023

Save

Finding and cultivating pedagogical awakenings, or moments of transformation in teaching and learning, offers opportunities to re-imagine quality early childhood education and care.

Returning to the fundamentals of practice as we explore the new perspectives of the EYLF v2.0 will refocus our intention and reconstruct familiar ways of knowing and being. Through these awakenings, what we know is renewed; the planning cycle becomes curriculum design, routines become rhythms, and excursions become encounters on Country.

This dynamic professional learning opportunity offers early childhood educators and leaders an interactive space to explore the practice possibilities of the updated Early Years Learning Framework using a pedagogical awakening approach.
