Have you ever wondered about the research and theories that underpin the play focus of the Early Years Learning Framework and how these relate to work with babies, toddlers and older children?
Dr Lennie Barblett, a Senior Lecturer in Early Childhood Education, from the School Of Education, Edith Cowan University will discuss how the principles and practice of the Early Years Learning Framework connect in play-based approaches; how 'intentional teaching' respects and builds on children's interests and experiences and how observations of, and interactions with, children in play can be used for assessment and planning purposes.
Dr Barblett's research interests include early childhood (birth to eight years) curriculum, pedagogy and practice; and early childhood environments. She is an Executive of the WA Branch of Early Childhood Australia (ECA) and led the revision of the ECA Code of Ethics and the development of Early Childhood Teaching Standards for ECA and Teaching Australia. She also serves on the WA Curriculum Council Framework Committee.
