You could use one of these templates as your 2 examples of documentation.  As long as you clearly show how you evaluate/assess learning within it.

As with every resource we provide for this assignment, it is not a requirement that you use them, nor are we suggesting that this is the best option for you in your context, however we hope that it will offer you some further clarification around the possible structure of your folio submission.

Here are some ideas to get you    started:
- Curriculum plan (including indoor, outdoor environments and routines)
- Variety of observations including an evaluation of learning
- Evaluation of your curriculum plan
- Long term and short term goals
- Summary of the learners within the room
- Photos of the experiences from your curriculum]]> 2019-07-05 09:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/370298494 Exemplar akocka https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/370298508 Please see below an exemplar of the curriculum folio from a previous student

When you read through have a think about the criterion and how you think it fits and what areas could be further developed and what you think was completed really well.

Then think about how you can apply this knowledge to your own learning plan.]]> 2019-07-05 09:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/370298508 CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS TO USE dan77h_dh https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/370531826 Throughout your teaching journey, you will be required to use your relevant National and/or State or Territory Curriculum.

Sometimes this may be confronting and you may not like what they say, but utilise the feedback.  They are not trying to be malicious, they are trying to help you to ensure that you are able to meet the outcomes in your final report.  So if they ask you to start doing something or try something else it's because they feel it will help you demonstrate your abilities and meet the outcomes so that you can pass your report.]]> 2020-07-11 06:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652207775 Using your initiative dan77h_dh https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652207806 Don't wait for your mentor teacher or other educators in the room to ask you to do something.  In the first week ask if there is something that you can assist with, get down to the children's level and engage and talk with them.  Start to build those relationships early.  As the weeks progress and you learn the routines or the room/setting jump in and help without being asked.  I.e. Sweeping up after lunch, reading a book before a mealtime (if that's what they do) etc...]]> 2020-07-11 06:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652207806 Professionalism dan77h_dh https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652207856 Mentor teachers and other educators at your setting will be looking at the way you dress, as well as the way you conduct yourself.

Top tips:
- Always have your phone on silent/off and in your handbag/staff room (where ever the other educators have their personal belongings)
- Use a strength based language when communicating about the children at the setting
- Always use appropriate language and tone of voice with the educators, families and children at the setting
- Make sure you check what the setting sees as appropriate attire BEFORE you start]]> 2020-07-11 06:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652207856 Centre expectations dan77h_dh https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652207917 You are expected to utilise the placement expectations and requirements, as the minimum standards for your placement, dependent on the course that you are enrolled in and completing.

Your SOL placement expectations should be communicated by you with your setting and any questions answered.  You cannot say that you do not know, please ensure you have clarified all information prior to visiting your setting.

If your setting does ask a question that is not outlined in the expectations pack please clarify this with your eLA or UC and provide the setting with an answer ASAP.



]]> 2020-07-11 06:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652207917 Days and times dan77h_dh https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652208013 You are expected to attend the setting for a full work day (7 hours plus 30 minutes for your lunch break).  At a minimum you will have 5 hours contact with children each day.

This is a guide only and will vary between each setting.  You need to work with these expectations as well as what your centre expects from you and work with.  

I.e. if they only have 2 hours of non-contact programming time per week you are expected to work in line with this.

This will help you to gain an understanding of the different workplaces and different teaching awards and standards across Early Childhood.  ]]> 2020-07-11 06:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652208013 Professional Experience Handbook dan77h_dh https://padlet.com/dan77h_dh/avyya8tcapvi/wish/652208068 This is for your reference throughout your placement units.
