Thinking and responding resource pack

Use your Kindy Uplift funding in a meaningful way by accessing our Thinking and responding resource pack.  

The titles within the pack have been carefully selected to align with the Kindy Uplift priority area of thinking and responding. They aid educators in using practices that further children's ability to respond to stimuli and process this information to make meaning. Children are also supported to respond in culturally appropriate ways. 

Creating and Thinking Critically in the Early Years: Build an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of effective learning. The resource, then, links that understanding to practical ideas for creating a child-centred curriculum. 

Theories into Practice: Delve deeper into the theories that underpin effective curriculum and pedagogy and what the practical implications are for working with children and the EYLF. 

Birth and Beyond: Gain insights into the specific needs of babies and toddlers. Transfer this knowledge into meaningful environments, practice and programs. 

Planning with and for Children: Take a child-centred approach to planning and documentation with this practical guide to inquiry-based learning through Floorbooks. 

Assessment for Learning: Use this resource to gain clear and instructive information on documentation, planning and assessment for the EYLF. 

Documenting Children's Learning: Explore what pedagogical documentation looks like in practice or how to reflect on your practice in the planning cycle.
