Emergent Curriculum & Documentation

Creative thinking in Emergent Curriculum

By examining projects that use teachers’ creative

responses to children’s ideas, we will explore how

emergent curriculum differs from more

‘prescriptive’ approaches. Participants will have

an opportunity to discuss their responses to the

projects, and how this approach might work in

their own settings. 1.5 PD HOURS

Documentation as a tool for Communication

We will think together about what we want our

documentation to communicate, see examples of

various forms of documentation, and practice how

to produce professional written and visual

communication. 1.5 PD HOURS
