1DOCUMENTATION, PLANNING AND ASSESSMENTIntroductionThe purpose of this paper is to describe, compare and contrast between the differentforms of the Early Years Learning Framework in several parts of Australia. The parts are in thenorthern territory of Australia and in the states like Western Australia, Queensland, SouthAustralia and Victoria. The Early Years Learning Framework has been the major framework inAustralia that is very effective for the shaping up of the learning of the children. The curriculumfor the school children is based on the EYLF properly. This framework deals with all theimportant things for the children. The care in which they should grow up and the things that areneeded to be done will have to be fixed according to the EYLF. This framework is a fundamentalfor the children to grow up and cope up with the challenges in this modern world. Thisframework has to be followed by the early childhood educators of Australia in many ways. Thisframework is followed by the educators for the children who belong to the age group of birth tofive years. The entire council of all the state and territorial Australian governments has set thisentire framework to develop the instincts of the children in a better way indeed. Early Years Learning Framework Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is the most followed framework in Australiafor the children from birth to age of five (Mychild.gov.au, 2018). The purpose of creating thisframework is to provide the best beginning to the life of the children so they can build asuccessful career in the future. The learning and development of the children largely depends onthis EYLF. This framework has been created with the vision of the early childhood sector,academics in the early childhood, the Australian Territory and State Governments(Mychild.gov.au, 2018). The focus that is put upon by the child educators in this context is on

The social and emotional development is also given special importance in thiscontext as well. The curriculum for the children is also set by keeping mind the various things forthe proper development of the children (Mychild.gov.au, 2018). This framework would help thechildren to learn better and shine in their future lives. The primary purpose of this framework isto make all the children of Australia successful learners in future. Another purpose is to make theindividuals more confident and creative in different sectors. The curriculum is also fixed as perthe ways to build active citizens. The comparisons between state and territory curriculumThe main purpose of fixing the curriculum for the children is based upon many things.The entire world is changing in different ways from different perspectives like the social,economic, technological and different other things. The purpose of promoting the qualityschooling by the state and territorial curriculum is to integrate the social progress and prosperityat the national level. The ministers of the OECD countries have pledged to improve the learningquality of the children in many ways (Australiancurriculum.edu.au, 2018). This is due to theinternational competition. The high quality schooling and learning has to be provided to theyoung learners according to the EYLF as well. The most elements of the Australian curriculumare the proper descriptions of the content and achievement standards in the K-10 Australiancurriculum (Australiancurriculum.edu.au, 2018).In the content descriptions, all the essential things are discussed about what the teacherswill have to teach. The teachers will have to provide the proper knowledge on the learning areas.All the learning areas will have to be understood by the children as per the curriculum of the

If the teachers are well acquainted with the contentdescriptions, it will be helpful for them to provide the proper scope and assistance for theteaching work (Australiancurriculum.edu.au, 2018). According to the achievement standards, thechildren will need to show their depth of the knowledge that is being showcased properly. Theextent of how the children have understood the things will reflect on the ways of how they cancomprehend the subjects. The level of skill will also be increased and it would becomesophisticated by every means. The Australian curriculum and the EYLF have many thingscommon between them (Bone & Edwards, 2012). Both these things intend to meet with therequirements of knowledge gathering in the context of this rapidly changing world at large. Boththese frameworks try to make new transformations in terms of knowledge and society. The mainprinciples of these frameworks are based on the play based learning, building the sense ofpedagogy and building of strong relationships between the children and their families(Grajczonek, 2012). Another purpose of this framework is the provision of teaching on aninternational level. The Australian curriculum in the Northern territory is based upon theimprovement of knowledge of the children and the policies that are being undertaken to improvethe skills of the educators at large (Peers & Fleer, 2014).In the Northern territory, English and Mathematics have been decided to be included inall the schools from Semester 2. It had also been decided in the year 2012 that a pilot of theAustralian curriculum and EYLF will be undertaken in all the NT schools. All the NT schoolswill be given support to become familiar with the Foundation to year 10 Science and historylearning areas (Connor, 2012). It had also been regulated that science and history will be taughtin classrooms in the schools from Semester 2. In the year 2013, multiple year level materials had
