Major Project– Critcally evaluating the Program of student learning (40%) (2000 words).

Educators use their assessment of, as and for childrenʼs learning to evaluate the implementation of plans. Educators consider how meaningful and effective the plans have been for childrenʼs learning, development and wellbeing, giving considerations to childrenʼs cultural and linguistic identities and diverse capabilities.

Evaluation is a time of critical reflection to consider ‘What worked well and why ?ʼ‘ What will I do differently next time ?ʼ and ‘How can further extend childre6nʼs learning ?ʼ Critical reflection is a powerful tool for educators to consider the learning possibilities moving forward (AGDE, 2022 p.28).

Evaluate areas for information sharing with colleagues and professional learning that will improve curriculum processes and practices. Provide a self-reflection presentation with your peers for evaluation.

This stage of reflection and evaluation of the planning cycle is often the beginning of a new cycle. Evaluate the learning, intentions and learning outcomes achieved. Reflect on the experience, how it went, were the outcomes achieved, resources provided, and what can be improved upon next time. Reflect also on teaching strategies, your philosophy on learning, teaching strategies and extension of childrenʼs learning, critically reflecton improvements to inform your future practice.
