This session will focus on introducing the use of negotiated projects and the Australian curriculum in a State School prep class. Real-life examples of how Anne has incorporated negotiated projects and The Australian Curriculum at beginning of the Prep year will be discussed. Anne aims to demonstrate how they can be used to fulfil requirements outlined in both the Early Years Curriculum Guidelines and the Australian Curriculum (C2C)
Key ideas will include:
• Anne's ongoing work with maintaining a Play based pedagogy in a State School Prep Class.
• Focused teaching that compliments Projects & the Australian Curriculum expectations.
• Examples of how Anne has begun to implement Projects and the content of C2C and Australian Curriculum
