Learning occurs as part of, and is shaped by, the social and cultural interactions between children, teachers, educators, parents/carers, family and community members, and professional partners.
Holistic approaches recognise learning is interconnected and involves:
- supporting children to build on their diverse perspectives, capabilities and interests to learn and develop in meaningful ways
- integrating the QKLG principles, practices and learning and development areas when planning, teaching and assessing learning.
Teachers and educators:
- promote children’s social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive learning, development and wellbeing
- consider children’s voices and actions in planning and assessment
- view children as competent and creative meaning-makers.
