A dramatic play center should have ample space, barriers separating it from other centers, and be available for one third of operating hours. It needs dress-up items including gender specific options, props for at least two themes like housekeeping or work, props for outdoor play, and pictures/stories/trips to enhance dramatic play. Providing these materials supports children's language, cooperation, emotional, and creative development in domains like fine arts and approaches to learning. Teachers should engage in pretend play to extend learning.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. To start, a dramatic play center should have ample
space and be available to children for one third of
the preschool’s operating hours.
This center must have barriers separating it from
other centers. These barriers can be made using
shelves or other furniture.
3. (1) In addition, in order to have a good dramatic
play learning center, you must have these four
things:
Dress-up items, with two to three being gender specific
Props for at least two themes
Props for outdoor dramatic play
Pictures, stories, and trips to enhance dramatic play
4. Dress-up Items
• Children need 3-5 dress up options (ex: hats, shoes)
• At least two to three options need to be gender specific
(ex: ties, Skirts, flowery hats)
5. Props must be provided daily for at least two
of the following themes:
• Housekeeping (dolls, doll furniture, child-sized furniture, kitchen utensils,
play food)
• Different Kinds of Work (hard hat, tools, shopping cart and register, play
food, office supplies, desk, tickets, rows of chairs for bus or plane
seating)
• Fantasy (simple masks or face paint, wands, fairy wings, crowns)
• Leisure (picnic basket, play food, blanket, animals)
6. Outdoor Dramatic Play
If outdoor space is not available, a large indoor space like a gymnasium can be
used.
Dress-up clothes are not required for outdoor dramatic play because they can
be dangerous.
Props must be able to permit meaningful play (ex: playhouses
must have furniture, riding toys resembling cars or trucks must have a gas
station, doll strollers must have dolls or animals to transport, and toy trucks
and cars must have people or things to transport.
7. Pictures, Stories, and Trips to Enhance
Dramatic Play
This provides children with the information and/or experience they
need to roleplay certain themes.
Pictures can be used by displaying photos of a certain theme
or having children's parent's tell the group about their jobs and showing
them pictures.
Stories can be books read to or available for children
about themes. Videos may also be used.
Trips can be a trip to the zoo to learn about animals or a trip to the
director's office to learn new ways to play office.
8. Infants and Toddlers
Infants need three to five of
each of these items:
• Dolls
• Soft animals
• Plastic pots and pans
• Toy telephones
Toddlers need two or more of each of
these things:
• Dress-up clothes
• Child-sized furniture
• Plastic pots and pans
• Play food
• Dolls
• Doll furniture
• Soft animals
• Small play buildings
• Toy telephones
Adults are encouraged to play with children in this center
9. (2) Diversity
To represent different cultures and abilities in their play, children should have
the following:
Dress up clothes representing people and careers from different cultures
Dolls of different race, age, ethnicities, and abilities
Equipment and play foods from different cultures
10. (3) By having access to a dramatic play center,
children practice these things:
Language skills (All About the ECERS-R, pg. 237)
Cooperate with one another (All About the ECERS-R, pg. 237)
Practice language in different context (Activities PowerPoint 2, slide 24)
Resolve emotional issues (All About the ECERS-R, pg. 237)
11. (5) Two different developmental domains that are
supported by the materials and interactions:
Fine Arts
Approaches to Learning
12. Fine Arts
Theatre Arts
• Children ages birth to 18 months are learning to imitate sounds, facial
expressions, and gestures of another person.
• Children ages 18 months to 36 months are learning to engage in pretend
play.
• Children ages 36 months to 48 months are learning to understand that
objects, pictures, or illustrations can stand for real things.
• Children ages 48 months and older are learning to tell about and/or role-
play characters from familiar stories or known people and own
imagination
13. Fine Arts
Theatre Arts
Strategies for teachers to use to support learning and development in fine
arts/theatre arts are:
• Playing with children in creative ways.
• Allowing children time to observe real experiences for them to imitate.
• Providing less realistic materials that challenge children to use their
imagination and reenact a scene.
• Engage in pretend play to extend a favorite story or field trip.
These strategies can be found in the Milestones of Development document
on page 38.
14. Approaches to Learning
Creativity and Inventiveness
• Children ages 18 months to 36 months are learning to pretend and use
imagination during play.
• Children ages 36 months to 48 months are learning to imitate action
observed in another situation.
• Children ages 48 months and older are learning to make changes to a
familiar story.
• Children ages 48 months and older are learning to represent reality in a
variety of ways.
15. Approaches to Learning
Creativity and Inventiveness
Strategies for teachers to use to support learning and development in
approaches to learning/creativity and inventiveness are:
• Providing dress-up and dramatic play materials from children’s daily life
and cultural background.
• Providing props for them to play pretend roles.
• Change the plot of a familiar story.
• Play-act the role of an adult (parents, teachers, etc.)
These strategies can be found in the Milestones of Development document
on page 10.
