17 FebProfessional learning for differentiated/play-based inquiry learning in the early years of schooling
School teachers and early childhood educators can now register for a free online professional learning program that aims to optimise opportunities for play-based teaching and learning in the early years of primary school. Through the learning, teachers will develop and strengthen their knowledge and understanding of the role of play and inquiry in children’s lives and learning. The multi-faceted program includes:
- online modules
- webinars
- an online community of practice
- a resource bank to support implementation of appropriate curriculum design and pedagogical approaches.
Delivered by the Department in partnership with Deakin University, the program has been developed in recognition that children starting school in 2021 may have a greater diversity of learning needs due to impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19).
To find out more, and to register, refer to Professional learning program: Differentiated/Play Based Inquiry Learning in the Early Years of Schooling (education.vic.gov.au)
