The Planning Cycle

The EYLF states that ‘Educators use a variety of strategies to collect, document, organise, synthesise and interpret the information that they gather to assess children’s learning.

They search for appropriate ways to collect rich and meaningful information that depicts children’s learning in context, describes their progress and identifies their strengths, skills and understanding’.

Certificate of Competence awarded on completion of course.
