Details
Materials

In this session we will unpick and explore the meaning of the word ‘curriculum’.  In this way we will discuss how this looks in our work and how we can explain the what, why and how of teaching and learning in a childminder setting.

  • Key references to Statutory and non- statutory documents, including Ofsted Frameworks.  First-hand knowledge of these is important as there are so many myths in circulation
  • An explanation of what is meant by ‘cultural capital’ and how this knowledge must inform our curriculum
  • Handouts and proforma to support practice
