Kindergarten Part 2

The Kindergarten Part 2 (AQ) course uses a critical lens to explore, apply and deepen your knowledge of The Kindergarten Program and a play based pedagogy. You will build on your professional practice by engaging in relevant and contextual activities that deepen your understanding of Kindergarten best practices. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with fellow passionate educators, explore inquiry based learning, and develop a meaningful professional portfolio to use in your Kindergarten classroom. This course will explore play-based pedagogy, the environment as the 3rd teacher, the role of pedagogical documentation, relationship building, supporting self-regulation and ways to communicate children's learning. This additional qualification (AQ) course will engage you in interactive, creative, hands-on learning that supports your understanding of theoretical foundations to apply directly into your classroom. You will develop strategies to support individual learning as a continuum of development across the four frames. You will have opportunities to put theory into practice, explore provocations and create resources for your classroom. This four week AQ will take you on an educational journey that will leave you with knowledge, resources and reflective connections to apply and explore directly in your classroom.
