Theorists to Enhance Practice – Developmental and Socio

The EYLF suggests that different theories inform children’s learning and development. Quite often we see the reference to theorists without the application to practice or undegrading of how we can use them to bring clarity to the analysis of learning for a solid curriculum plan.

Join us for a workshop that takes a look into the developmental (Piaget Steiner, Montessori, Gardner), socio-cultural (Vygotsky, Bruner, Bofenbrenner, Malaguzzi, Rogoff) and socio-behaviourists theorists (Pavlov, Skinner, Bandura).  Learn how they can be used to inform and improve the learning and development of children.

Learning Outcomes:

• Why we use theories
• Developmental theorists
• Socio-cultural theorists
• Socio-behaviourists theorists
• Practical Implications for practice
