Age Appropriate Pedagogies - AAP
Age-appropriate pedagogies support early years teachers to apply a range and balance of teaching approaches and characteristics of quality teaching in their classroom practice. The framework supports teachers to align curriculum, effective pedagogies and assessment to maximise student's engagement in learning and to enhance outcomes for all learners.
At Picnic Creek we believe that children learn best when they are actively engaged in purposeful learning experiences. The Australian Curriculum clearly defines what is to be taught, and teachers use their knowledge of children's interests, strengths and capabilities to identify the most effective way to teach curriculum content.
Deep Learning
Deep Learning is an effective pedagogy encouraging students in the 6Cs of global competencies:
Character
Citizenship
Collaboration
Communication
Creativity
Critical Thinking
"Deep Learning is about students transforming their reality through learning. We take the position that learning is the foundational driver and technology can be a great accelorator."
