Welcome to the training programme ‘Seeing Every Child’ child-led documentation for early learning! The Learning Objective of the full programme (4 modules) is to introduce child-centred documentation as an instrument to recognise, support and enhance children’s wellbeing, learning and development. This is Module 2. MODULE 2: Telling the Story of Learning: The story-based approach.  This training module explores six key areas that support a story-based approach to documentation in early learning settings. It begins by examining emotional wellbeing as the foundation for all learning, before considering what holistic learning looks like in practice. The module then introduces ways to make children’s learning visible through stories, including the use of inquiry wall stories and transition stories to capture and share meaningful learning experiences. Finally, it explores the MOSAIC framework as a practical approach for documenting children’s voices, experiences and development through storytelling. Components are as follows: Component 1: Emotional wellbeing: The cornerstone of all learning. Component 2: What does holistic learning look like? Component 3: Making learning visible through stories. Component 4: Inquiry wall stories. Component 5: Transition stories. Component 6: MOSAIC as a framework for documentation through stories. *PLEASE READ 'NOTES FOR THE COURSE' BEFORE BEGINNING.

This short presentation will give you a flavour of the creative new book A Suitcase Full of Stories by Avril McMonagle on pedagogical documentation for early education.   'A Suitcase Full of Stories' is an essential resource for Educators, Pedagogical Leaders and students to maximise the impact of meaningful child-led documentation for learning using a story approach. Packed with examples of learning stories, child voice and emergent planning, this book is about capturing children’s stories. It supports educators to develop the skills to tune-in to young children, to see and hear their voice and to use this information to build meaningful learning experiences through a child-led curriculum of play.

Welcome to the training programme ‘Seeing Every Child’ child-led documentation for early learning! The Learning Objective of the full programme (4 modules) is to introduce child-centred documentation as an instrument to recognise, support and enhance children’s wellbeing, learning and development. This is Module 4.   This is Module 4 - Planning a Child-centred Curriculum - The Long Term, Medium Term and Short Term Planning Framework. This training module introduces a practical, reflective approach to planning and documenting an emergent curriculum. Participants will explore a continuous cycle of planning and assessment, learn how to authentically capture and respond to children's voices, and apply a structured Long-Term, Medium-Term, and Emergent (Short-Term) planning framework. The module also examines the use of topic scaffolds to support meaningful learning experiences, the development and implementation of emergent plans, and the importance of maintaining an "invisible thread" of linked documentation to demonstrate continuity in children's learning journeys. Finally, participants will learn how to effectively use MOSAIC Educator to record, connect, and manage planning and documentation, ensuring a cohesive, child-centred approach to curriculum planning and practice. Components are as follows: Component 1: A Reflective Cycle of Planning and Assessing Component 2: Capturing and responding to child voice (ASH) Component 3: The LT, MT and Emergent (ST) Planning Framework Component 4: Topic Scaffolds Component 5: The Emergent Plan Component 6: The Invisible Thread of linked Documentation Component 7: Emergent Planning on MOSAIC Educator   *PLEASE READ 'NOTES FOR THE COURSE' BEFORE BEGINNING.
