About this course

This package contains the modules Introduction to the Floorbooks Approach and Moving forward with Floorbooks Approach for those who wish to focus on the Floorbooks Approach.

The Floorbooks Approach® is designed to create a balance between adult intentionality and child autonomy. The planning cycle should take account of both facets of our role in education to make sure that children are engaged in learning and develop the dispositions for lifelong learning. Floorbooks allow educators to consult deeply with children during the planning and documentation process. The approach encourages higher order thinking skills and helps children influence their learning.

After completing this package, you will understand how the Floorbooks Approach® is a way to support:

  • gain an understanding of a new, collaborative form of documentation and how to create a balance between adult intentionality and child autonomy
  • support children to become engaged and active in their own learning
  • the planning process as a holistic approach to children’s learning and development.
