In this episode, Alistair Bryce-Clegg is joined once again by Ruth Swailes, award-winning Early Years specialist, to discuss building skills in the Early Years curriculum. They emphasise that skill development stems from quality continuous provision and offer tips for crafting a curriculum tailored to specific school settings.
Practical tips for practitioners
Ruth and Alistair delve into the essential areas for practitioners to consider when building curriculum, from questions about your individual staff and children, to the impact of furniture and timetables. They stress that everything done in the classroom should benefit the children and highlight the role of adults as facilitators of learning rather than rigid enforcers of curriculum. The conversation also underscores the importance of child-led learning in fostering development.
