This summary outlines a plan to implement changes to curriculum, frameworks, teaching and pedagogy at an early childhood center called ABC.
The early childhood center currently follows an emergent curriculum based on children's interests. To improve practices, the plan will introduce the National Quality Framework and Early Years Learning Framework to enhance teachers' professional knowledge and align teaching.
Professional learning teams led by an educational leader and coordinator will be established. The educational leader will examine current practices, promote reflection among teachers, and emphasize applying principles of adult learning to staff development. Goals will be set and support provided to educators to foster positive change. Progress will be monitored through reflective practice and partnerships with families.

setting. The school context is based on an Early Childhood Centre.Application of the model
of professional learning to assisting a school to improve its teaching provision to match how

SETTING CONTEXTThe context of an early years setting of a children’ s centre offers long-
day programs for 74 children from its local surrounding community. The philosophy of the
children’ s centre is based on the principles of social justice and the recognition of every
child as an individual within a family. The centre has adopted an emergent curriculum
based on projects of interest that develop through the children’ s play and interactions.
Although the program is play-based, there are some structured activities, which would
increase the length and complexity as the year progresses, to support and build children’ s
concentration span. The curriculum responds to the National Early Years Learning
2. Framework, and acknowledges the needs and interests of children, teachers and families.
The centre provides an inclusive environment, where diverse social and ethnic backgrounds
and abilities are respected and celebrated.(2) its identification of an explicit model of
learning that targets professional knowledge enhancement as essential for school
