It is explicitly highlighted in the new Early Years Leaning Framework V2.0 and is a standard within Quality Area 1 of the National Quality Standard. In everyday early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings, and in initial teacher education, assessment is often limited to observational and narrative-driven approaches. Recent reviews of the literature highlight that there are few other assessment tools readily available to educators. What assessment looks like in early childhood is changing. The Commonwealth, as part of the Preschool Reform Funding Agreement, is developing, trialling, and implementing a preschool outcomes measure. The jurisdictions, too, are driving change: the Victorian Early Years Assessment and Learning Tool is an assessment designed to make consistent observations and assessments of children’s learning in preschool settings. The current state of assessment practices in early childhood settings, and the coming reforms, are provoking a debate about the purpose of assessment and the time invested in conducting assessment. Typically, distinctions are made between formative and summative assessments, as well as population measurement or reporting. Different tools are used for each – educators may imagine soon writing learning stories, completing a transition statement, and undertaking a new preschool outcome assessment for each child in their preschool setting. This paper highlights the latest trends and research in assessment in the early years and discusses a new model of early childhood assessment.","PeriodicalId":354555,"journal":{"name":"Research Conference 2023: Becoming lifelong learners.

In parallel with the reforms, teachers and educators are reminded by the recently released 2022 Early Years Learning Framework to design programs that support intentionality in play-based learning. However, the literature shows that despite the concept of intentional teaching being around since 2009, difficulties with how to do this remains. This presentation takes up this challenge, by 1) sharing the collective findings of 6 Australian Research Council-funded research projects into play and learning in STEM; and 2) presenting an evidence-informed model of a Conceptual PlayWorld that resulted from this foundational research. The model is currently being released across Australia (and internationally) to supports educators and teachers to create the conditions for conceptual development in children’s play. The model will be shared via video recordings alongside of findings from a spectrum of research that has been funded through the ARC Laureate Fellowship Scheme over 5 years.","PeriodicalId":354555,"journal":{"name":"Research Conference 2023: Becoming lifelong learners.

With 5 learning outcomes and 8 principles of practice, this requires educators to be highly skilled in facilitating children’s engagement with increasingly complex ideas. It also assumes that all educators recognise children’s demonstrations of understanding, and know what knowledge (or capabilities) likely preceded this understanding, and what comes next. As a framework, this specific information is missing from the EYLF. Learning trajectories may assist educators to recognise demonstrations of knowledge and capability, and to plan opportunities for differentiated teaching and learning that are within a child’s zone of proximal development. A focus on learning trajectories thus supports formative assessment and planning for learning, as well as reflective practice. This presentation will draw on language and communication to discuss the contribution of learning trajectories to teaching practice and the continuity of learning from birth.","PeriodicalId":354555,"journal":{"name":"Research Conference 2023: Becoming lifelong learners.

Rollo","doi":"10.37517/978-1-74286-715-1-14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37517/978-1-74286-715-1-14","url":null,"abstract":"Effective monitoring of learning and development involves integrating multiple perspectives from a child’s parents, carers, family, and their educators. A collaborative approach between educators and families not only recognises the family’s critical importance in their child’s life but it has also been shown to benefit children with learning difficulties, delays and behavioural concerns (Parenting Research Centre, 2012; Prior et al., 2011). Efforts made towards the integration of multiple perspectives can also support stronger inclusion of diverse families into communities of early childhood education and care. However, discussions with parents and carers about issues regarding their children’s development can be a challenging part of an educator’s role (O’Connor et al., 2018). This paper will reveal both obstacles and enablers when it comes to engaging in conversations with parents and caregivers. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory positions ’mutuality, reciprocity and shared decision-making’ (1979, p. 46) at the forefront of planning for conversations about the learning and development of young people. This paper will justify how this lens has informed the development of a tool to support educators and families to move beyond traditional power imbalances to enhanced and balanced relationships that result in improved holistic student support.","PeriodicalId":354555,"journal":{"name":"Research Conference 2023: Becoming lifelong learners.
