Schemes – Supporting children’s cognitive needs

If the child, as a little scientist, is driven to understand their world, what is our role as educators? How can we support children’s social, emotional, cognitive, creative; linguistic and physical development if they have a ‘need’ to know, understand and be able to do things, a need for safety, connection, mastery, fun and freedom and a need to be creative?

What is an Orientation Scheme?

Schemes are repeated patterns of behaviour that help children make sense of their world. When children are exploring Orientation, they enjoy hanging upside down, climbing things, hanging from bars, looking through holes and transparent objects. They turn objects and themselves around and upside down. They may bend over and look at the world backwards through their legs.

Questions and concerns – Making meaning together

As we continue to explore better ways for children to learning and teachers to teach, how can we think together, relaunch our thinking and search for meaning together?

Inquiry-led learning

Inquiry-led learning requires children and educators to be curious, to manage uncertainty, to be open to possibilities, to take responsibility for learning, to be accountable for our influence on others, to question our assumptions and look forward to new possibilities.
