As Education Department students and Head Teachers work together to create experiences for the children, we take time to document the events in the classroom and the learning that takes place.
Documentation serves several purposes.
First, it provides an opportunity for children to revisit their experiences and expand on them. Second, it allows teachers to make connections between moment-to moment events in the classroom and what we know about children and learning. Third, it provides a 'window on the classroom' for parents who want to feel connected to their children's school lives. Here are some samples of documentation created by student teachers at the Children's School. They are stories about children learning - and teachers learning right along with them.
