Early Childhood Educators Quiz
Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education
Early Childhood Educators need to be selective and critical of the quality of resources used for children’s language and literacy development. For this assignment, you will conceptualise/produce/design an educational resource that can be used to enhance children’s language and literacy learning (for three to five years of age). For example, an object, story, poem, song, picture-book, non-fiction book, puppet, felt board, poster, board game, dance, yoga-session, etc.
You may want to develop this educational resource for a child or a group of children that you have observed previously, basing it on their interests and learning dispositions.
Discuss and critically reflect (on):
- how physical and aesthetic characteristics of your resource make it a suitable educational artefact
- its educational potential that would make it a valuable language and literacy artefact
Suggest how you might use this resource with:
- an individual child
- a small group and
- a larger group (more than 7 children) – if the resource is not suitable for a larger group explain why
[place-order-2]
You should reference the scholarly literature to support both your choice and use of the resource. Early Childhood Educators Quiz
