“Can teachers of young children create stimulating and enriching out- door environments that are also safe? “(Olsen, 2013, p. 11). This artifact answers just that question by providing a powerpoint presentation on the guidelines for a safe and enriching requirements of indoor and outdoor play. “The outdoor environment is an extremely important place within early childhood programs. There are endless opportunities for developmentally appropriate practice in the outdoor spaces,” (2103).
Children and Play: Role of Play in Early ChildhoodIra Parenting
Play helps children to engage and interact with the world around them. We present you with a well-researched presentation explaining the role of play in early childhood.
High Quality Learning Environment in the EYFSAnna Cylkowska
Early Years Foundation Stage is art of attracting children’s attention, through creating a stimulating and inspiring learning environment. The role of Early Years teachers is to provide children thought provoking, engaging and challenging activities; to support and extend their learning. As Froebel nicely said ‘play is the work of a child’; thus Early Years practitioners should thoroughly prepare activities to intrigue children to explore their surrounding environment. Play encourages hands on approach, enriches children’s firsthand experiences and expands their intellectual growth. Practitioners’ imagination and creativity in preparing indoor and outdoor provision support competent and confident learners. High quality learning environment contributes to child’s development and incorporates all six areas of learning, according to English Curriculum. Play based learning develops problem solving skills and supports children’s understanding of the world. Inspirational activities initiate interaction and become the best opportunity for language acquisition for those learners whose English is a second language.

Infants & Toddlers Learning
Environments The Indoor
Environment: Designing and
Organizing
Just like adults, infant and toddlers get frustrated when they cannot easily
move through an environment, or find what they need. It is our job as
caregivers to make sure the classroom is thoughtfully designed and
materials for play are well organized. This lesson highlights how to design
your room for group activities, privacy, storage and display, with attention to
all learners, including the adults. It provides an introduction to design
elements that promote a sense of comfort and invite exploration and
engagement. This lesson also examines how to organize materials for
independence, easy use and learning.
Objectives:
Distinguish between spaces for group experiences, privacy, storage,
and display.
Identify characteristics of a well-designed indoor learning environment.
Learn ways to arrange an indoor learning environment to promote
infant and toddler growth and development.
Describe how to organize materials for independence, easy use, and
learning.

What is Your Perspective?
Infant and toddler caregivers make many decisions each day: which books
to read, what questions to ask a toddler’s family, which experiences to offer,
which materials to place where, etc. In many instances, these decisions are
the result of careful advanced consideration, in addition to a personal
understanding of how an infant and toddler learning environment should be,
feel and look.
Infants and toddlers, like most of us, are drawn to inviting and engaging
environments. Thinking about the ways to create a safe, flexible, and playful
indoor learning environment requires planning and exploring ideas from
multiple perspectives.
Arranging the Indoor Learning Environment
The space and furnishings should come together to create an indoor
learning environment that is tailored to meet the needs of developing
infants and toddlers. They need close supervision, positive guidance and
stimulating experiences during this period of rapid growth.
When considering the physical space of play areas, it is important to create
a space that is not too open or too crowded. Young infants need protected
areas with enough room to practice their growing abilities and movements,
such as rolling over and crawling. Mobile infants and toddlers need space as
they explore and learn to crawl, walk, dance, jump and build with blocks.
Space is important for both active and quiet play. Well-designed areas
provide both physical boundaries and visual cues that support individual
and peer play.

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. Outdoor Play
Outdoor play should consist of several elements to
secure children are exposed to a range of experiences.
A combination of equipment and natural materials
maximize early childhood learner’s physical activity,
social development, and cognitive development,
(Spencer & Wright).
3. Natural Area
Natural elements create beautiful welcoming
environment that provides interest, risk and
adventure, (Spencer & Wright, p30). Natural play
areas consists of “trees, stumps, boulders, grass,
water and pebbles,” (Spencer & Wright).
4. Wheeled & Manipulative
Toys
Offering a variety of wheeled toys such as tricycles, scooters,
wagons, and push toys offers differentiated challenges for
children, (Spencer & Wright).
Objects such as balls, jump ropes, ribbons, and hula hoops give
children practice in object control skills, such as throwing,
catching, retrieving, rolling, bowling, kicking, and batting,
(Brown et al. 2009).
5. Sand & Water
Sand and water play encourage several positive areas of
developmental growth for children including; social skills, cognitive
and physical development, and artistic expression (Spencer &
Wright).
Sand activity encourages open ended questioning and water
activity encourages scientific and mathematical experimentation.
6. Music & Movement
A section of the outdoor play area needs to be sectioned off for
music and movement. This section would consist of of wind
chimes that are within reach to children. Also creative designs
of xylophone keys that children can feel free to tap at their
leisure. Lastly old painted cans tied to trees with string for
children to creative different sounds.
7. Play Houses
Play houses allow children to use their imagination and adding
costumes and props encourages dramatic play with encourages
social and physical interaction.
8. Indoor Play Areas
“Considering indoor play is a big business and ubiquitous, there is a
need to develop universal design guidelines for indoor play that will
promote safety and access for all children,” (Olsen, 2013)
9. Reading
Reading areas should be inviting but calming. Shelves should
be filled with books catered to the current learning theme and
topics of interests. This area should be made comfortable for
groups of children to read quietly.
10. Fine motor skills
Indoor play should have puzzles and games consisting of
fine motor skills differentiated to the child’s learning abilities;
enriched students, on level students and disability students.
Seating should be comfortable and materials should be easy
to access.
11. Dramatic Play
Props for various pretend play should be provided
including costumes, products, seating, hats, and signs. These
materials being used for themes such as store, kitchen,
restaurant, hospital, house, and shop. Dramatic play would
also consist of a puppet stage for impromptu puppet shows.
12. Compare & Contrast
Both indoor and outdoor need particular attention
when creating a space to properly fulfill the needs
of young educators.
Outdoor play focuses more on physical activity.
Assuring space is properly used to involve natural
surrounding. Children are more free to explore with
less attention on clean up.
Indoor activities cater more to fine motor skills.
Differentiated tasks are put more into focus.
