This course will support teachers of early Stage 1 and Stage 1 to:

  • Confidently involve young children in engaging practical learning tasks.
  • Translate the new NESA Science and Technology K-2 syllabus into active teaching programs.
  • Develop knowledge and skills for implementing exemplary science and technology teaching and learning.
  • Use and modify exemplar resources / activities to suit their own school context and children’s learning needs.

This professional learning program is based on a set of published learning experiences developed in the classroom by the presenter with 20 years of experience as a kindergarten science teacher. The materials bridge the Early Years Learning Framework and the NSW Science and Technology K-6 syllabus. The kindergarten science and technology teaching experience of the chief investigator has enabled her to develop a suite of practical learning tasks to connect with children’s lived experiences. Combining this practical basis with her expertise as a science education researcher, the aim is to provide supportive professional learning that leverages the strengths of primary teachers to implement exemplary science and technology teaching practices in the first years of school.
