Across the Learning Pathway Early Childhood Education We are currently designing a variety of interventions in the Digital Fluency programme using a pathways approach (refer handout). We expect that Early Learning Services who are involved in a Community of Learning would be part of any application for Professional Learning and Development focused on Digital Fluency. We also expect the national programme to introduce new curriculum to teachers as well as early childhood teachers who are looking at the links between Te Whāriki , NZC and TMoA. 14 education.govt.nz
Across the Learning Pathway Early Childhood Education We welcome involvement of the Early Learning sector in continued development of the package of initiatives. The best vehicle for this is the Implementation Reference Group. It will meet again in October / November to consider feedback from the consultation Lyn Granshaw is the nominated member of the Ministry’s Early Childhood Advisory on the Reference Group. 15 education.govt.nz
