Welcome to the training programme ‘Seeing Every Child’. ‘Seeing Every Child’ is an internationally accredited professional learning programme consisting of 4 interconnected modules designed to build educator knowledge placing the child at the heart of assessment, pedagogy and curriculum. Educators learn to notice deeply, document meaningfully, respond intentionally and plan responsively, creating learning experiences that reflect each child’s unique voice, interests, strengths, wellbeing and learning. This is Module 1.  Module 1- Authentic Assessment through Emergent Practice This training module explores five key components of child-centred practice and documentation in early education. It begins by examining emergent practice and the importance of placing the child at the centre of learning and decision-making. The module then explores how agentic educators foster agency in children, followed by an introduction to assessment practices that support learning and development in early education. It also considers how documentation can be used to recognise and celebrate each child's unique strengths, interests and experiences. Finally, the module introduces the MOSAIC framework as a child-centred approach to documenting children's learning, participation and development. Components are as follows: Component 1: Emergent Practice: Placing the Child at the Centre  Component 2: Agency: Agentic Educators enable Agentic Children   Component 3: Assessment for Early Education  Component 4: Seeing the Unique Child through Documentation  Component 5: MOSAIC as a Child-centred Documentation System.   *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.

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.
