How to use the framework

This framework has been developed for individual teachers looking for a framework to embed inquiry based intentional teaching into the curriculum.   It moves beyond the surface play of the children interests and digs deep into how the groups trends of play and interactions provide many clues about children’s curiosities.  This planning is how the groups of children engage and learn together in a room community.  Specific individual child planning is not included in this planning work and would need to be documented separately by the teacher to ensure full compliance to the NQS.  The journal will engage teachers in intentional teaching and reflective notes each week and critical thinking and reflection twice over each term.  There is scope for school holiday planning for LDC or FDC educators. 

What is the planning construct?

This planning is group planning, looking at the class as a community of learners and will require the teacher to take a balcony view of the children, analyzing:

Where are children gravitating to?

Where is the groups social competencies?

How are relationships building or not within the groups of children?

What are the consistencies/trends that are identified?  

How does it develop?

This planning is evolved over a term, week by week, building on the children’s engagement and teacher reflections of the work.  It is not designed for the planning to end each week and start something new.
