Unit Learning  

Outcomes 

You will demonstrate the following Unit Learning Outcomes on the successful  completion of this task: 

ULO 1: Describe and apply the key principles and practices of the  Early Years Learning Framework (AGDE, 2022). 

ULO 2: Understand and analyse the importance of relationships and  how to build and foster them with children, families, staff and the  community respecting the diversities of their histories and  

backgrounds.

 

Task Description  

You are required to develop a professional response to the three (3) scenarios described below that  have occurred in early childhood settings making reference to the unit materials, the National  Quality Standard [NQS] (ACECQA, 2020) and the Early Years Learning Framework [EYLF] (AGDE,  2022). 

Rationale 

The scenarios are based on real life events in early childhood settings and relate to the early  childhood principles and practices that have been explored over the first three weeks of the unit (Modules 1-3).

Task Instructions  

Develop a professional response to each scenario below (500 words each) to demonstrate your  understanding of the importance of relationships and how to build and foster them with children,  families, staff and the community respecting the diversities of their histories and backgrounds. Refer  to the EYLF, NQS, unit materials, and academic literature to support your points. 

Scenario 1: 

You are the early childhood teacher in the toddler room. Increasingly, you notice some of your  colleagues have a deficit view of the toddlers in their care. Your colleagues demonstrate behaviours  that suggest the toddlers are not capable of making choices and completing routines on their own. 

Critically analyse this learning environment in terms of a) the need for children’s agency and b) the  practices you would implement for improved children’s agency in this setting. 

When synthesising your response, justify your analysis with one NQS Quality Area (ACECQA, 2020),  one EYLF Principle and one EYLF Practice (AGDE, 2022) and academic literature.  

Scenario 2 

As the early childhood teacher responsible for the Preschool room at a long day care service, you are  eager to introduce a healthier eating program. Your goal is to involve both families and the  community in this initiative. Your service caters to a diverse range of family backgrounds, each with  unique cultural influences and dietary requirements and preferences.  

How can you effectively implement a healthier eating program, considering the diverse backgrounds  and preferences? Additionally, how can you ensure participation and support from both families and  the broader community in this initiative?  

When constructing your response, justify your answer with one NQS Quality Area (ACECQA, 2020),  one EYLF Principle and one EYLF Practice (AGDE, 2022) and academic literature. 

Scenario 3 

You are the educator in the 0–2-year-old room. You have a number of new families who are  concerned about their children who become very upset at drop-off time. You are to formulate a  strategy that will enable you to a) reassure the new families that their children’s behaviour is  common, and b) communicate to the families the practices you undertake to settle the children each  morning and build trust.  

When detailing the strategy use one NQS Quality Area (ACECQA, 2020), one EYLF Principle and one EYLF Practice (AGDE, 2022) and academic literature to justify your decisions, and the importance of  these for the child and family.
