Learning Issues:
Activities in the learning corners are not developmentally appropriate.
Action Plan:
- No rigidity should be seen in the activities (Etc: Do not give didactic materials, children are not required to follow a standard template)
- Present the activities in a way that is engaging and interactive while at the same time; the activities will enhance their learning (Etc: Open ended art, hands-on experiences on real objects)
- Ensure that all the activities are age appropriate so that all the children can enjoy it.
Information:
According to scenario 1, children of K2  always seem to do the same art at the art learning corner.

Non developmentally appropriate learning corners do not enhance on children’s learning. The learning corners should include activities that are able to expand the children's creativity, instead of allowing them to draw/paint/colour the same artwork over and over again. Hence, no rigidity is allowed

Definition of Developmentally Appropriate Practice: It provides a guideline on how teachers can do, to make the curriculum age, individual and social & cultural appropriateness. There are three types of appropriateness.

1. Age appropriateness: Give what most children can do, which is derived from general Developmental Milestones.

2. Individual Appropriateness: Give what the child can do, and this is derived from teachers’ observation over a period of time.

3. Social & Cultural Appropriateness: Whether or not the activities that they do in the learning corners are socially and culturally appropriate for each child, according to their family background.

By ensuring that all these three aspects have been accomplished,  children can therefore learn through meaningful and enriching ways.

Learning Issues:

-       Materials are not Available, Accessible and Appropriate (3 As)

Action Plan:

-       Wide variety and quantity of manipulative, toys and materials, durability of materials

-       Materials are placed at children’s eye level, for easy access to materials

-       Range of Developmentally appropriate materials ranging from easy to challenging

-       Open ended materials VS close ended materials

Information:

-       There is a need to provide children with a wide range of different kinds of materials and age appropriate enough so as to encourage children to learn how to be independent and creative.

-       The materials has to easily accessible to allow children to be able to get hold of the materials they wish to learn or enhance, which will in turn, aid them in their in-dependency.

-       The materials that are provided has to have a range of difficulty levels, for children who learns slower than the others or vice versa. So that the materials are able to engage the children and not bored them.

Learning issues:
- Class routine and schedule (predictable or messy)

Action plan:
-Must have a balance in activities. Indoor and Outdoor, Active and Quiet, Large and Small Group etc.
- Teacher is also to incorporate transition timings for the children, by using a timer or song towards the end of the activity to alert the children that the activity is about to come to an end, and they are supposed to finish up whatever they are doing and clean up as well.
- Teacher can maybe put up a roster for the children to follow and know what is up next after they have finished an activity.

Information:
Importance of having routines and schedules
- The child's emotional, cognitive, and social development are being directly influenced.
- Provide children with a sense of security and they are able to predict what they are doing next after they have finished one activity.
- Help children to better understand their learning environment's expectations.
- Problematic behaviour can be prevented.
- There is a higher chance in getting the children to stay engaged in the activities and learn new information at the same time.
