Practice resources

This resource is part of a series of 8 practice resources for play-based learning and intentionality in ECEC. Each resource is aligned with the Principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF V2.0).

Teaching practices that are aligned with how students learn are the most effective in improving education outcomes for all. There is strong evidence about the processes that occur during learning.

This tool shows how the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) Language and Cognitive skill domain items align to both the Australian Curriculum (English and Maths) and the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions (NLNLP).

This activity invites you to collect and reflect on examples from your early childhood education and care (ECEC) service, individually and with colleagues, to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the learning trajectories.

This early childhood learning trajectory looks at children’s progress in executive functions, to help you plan the next steps in their learning and development.

This early childhood learning trajectory looks at children’s progress in language and communication, to help you plan the next steps in their learning and development.

This early childhood learning trajectory focus on children’s progress in mathematical thinking, to support you to plan the next steps in their learning and development.

The early childhood learning trajectory will help you observe children’s progress in physical development and plan the next steps in their learning and development.

You can use this early childhood learning trajectory to observe children’s progress in social and emotional learning, and to plan the next steps in their learning and development.

This resource provides examples of professional learning at a system-level to support evidence use.

The Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy and Purpose (CRAAP) test helps you to evaluate non-academic sources of evidence, such as a webpage.

We look at strategies for engaging in sustained shared conversations with children aged 3-5 years, using examples of educators and teachers using moments in the day to build children’s literacy skills.
