Development of curriculum strengthening packs, online course, and a training manual for the National Curriculum Framework for children from birth to four years
Objectives
Conduct a high-level outcome evaluation research study to explore practitioners’ current experiences, perceptions, and interactions with the play online platform.
Develop an online course, structured into clearly defined modules, on the effective use of the curriculum strengthening packs. The course should incorporate assessments to evaluate participant understanding and competency. This will be SACE endorsed.
Develop a user-friendly, practical, play-based training manual to support the orientation of early learning practitioners, caregivers, and other service providers on the use and implementation of the curriculum strengthening packs. The manuals should provide practical guidance and be suitable for diverse early learning contexts.
Pilot and field-test the online course content with a representative sample of target users to assess the design/format and effectiveness. Findings from the field-testing process should be used to refine and strengthen the course prior to final implementation.
