  Supporting Children's Development through Playful Pedagogies

  (Applying the Australian Early Development Census) 
  

  Dates: 2 March & 14 November 2023

  Time: 9.00am - 3.30pm

  Venue: Wittunga Botanic Garden, Shepherds Hill Rd, Blackwood

  This workshop will take place over two days and participation at both days is required.

  Come to Nature Play HQ at Wittunga House for the Supporting Children’s Development Through Playful Pedagogies (Applying the Australian Early Development Census) workshops.

  You will be provided with provocations to support educators to apply knowledge of the AEDC domains to their understanding of children, childhood, and emergent literacy and numeracy in playful and play-based settings. Across the two-day workshop, educators will have the opportunity to consider how pedagogical documentation may illustrate their co-constructed work with children and families, as they seek deeper engagement in learning experiences which build child efficacy and capacity, informed by knowledge of the AEDC developmental domains.
