‘Intentional teaching is deliberate, purposeful and thoughtful’ (EYLF, p.15).

Educators who engage in intentional teaching recognise that learning occurs in social contexts where interactions and conversations are vitally important for learning.

This practical session will provide participants with opportunities to develop and extend their knowledge of intentional teaching through interactive case studies focusing on sustained shared thinking, program planning and critical reflection. There is a specific focus on communication and interaction across cultures. Educators who work with children and families from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds are encouraged to attend.

Topics to be Covered

• Identifying common characteristics of play
• Intentional teaching approaches that can be used in everyday practice
• Program planning, critical reflection and sustained shared thinking
• Planning environments that are rich in language and provide opportunities for meaningful exchange and understanding of differences
• Developing strategies to promote the benefit of play with CALD families and the community 

Learning Outcomes for participants to:

• Understand the importance of interactions and social context in play
• Promote and extend children’s learning and understanding of diversity by intentionally and actively participating in children’s play

Designed For:

• All Educators
