What surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did
you gain from exploring this international early childhood website?
I chose to explore Early Childhood Australia site. One
new insight that I have gained from this site is the information provided about
the “National Quality Standard Professional Learning Program.” The program is
designed to help ECP’s (Early Childhood Professionals) meet the criteria of
setting up an appropriate designed early education environment. They first help
you understand the links between EYLF (Early Years Learning Framework) with NQS
(National Quality Standards). They offer resources to help professionals
learn about appropriate environment settings as well as incorporating good
practices in the classroom with learning videos, forums, social media outlets,
and funding and sponsorship resources.
What other noteworthy information did you find on this website?
The supporting best practices tab offers very
insight information for learning, play, feelings, behaviors, teaching,
children’s rights, and developmental stages. Each topic has many subtopics that
can be useful to some of my colleagues for their research simulation. For
example, my research stimulation is about behavior.
