About the event
This is one of our most popular sessions and always manages to stop any thoughts that theory might be boring or outdated! As Kate explores each of the theories she will explain how they are supported by current research (particularly brain development) and what they look like in practice. You will take home a helpful resource kit to help you link theory to documentation and continue your theory learning journey.
The NQS expects all educators to have an understanding of the theory that underpins our national curriculum (EYLF). This is why we have chosen the theorists we have for this exploration, and we will make these links clear as we move through each theorist. Some of the theorists/approaches we will discuss include (but are not limited to):
- Jean Piaget
- Lev Vygotsky
- Erik Erikson
- John Bowlby
- Jerome Bruner
- Loris Malaguzzi (Reggio)
- Maria Montessori
- Rudolph Steiner
Presented by: Owner/Director Kate (bio under philosophy tab). Resource kit and lunch included.
