Digital Technologies:
For children between age group of 3 to
5 years the technologies that teachers
can use are smart boards, sensitivity
technological tools etc. to enhance the
learning experience of children and
expand their level of understanding
and involvement which will help in
achieving the learning outcomes.
Group learning:
The most effective technique of
inculcating group learning amongst
the children is by incorporating tools
like storytelling, artificial experience
using many different tools, group
activities etc. that will help them in
learning how to operate in a team
and thus help in achieving the
learning outcome.
Emerging
Interests & Ideas
to Explore
The ideas generated by the students
throughout the week should be
recorded by the teacher and then the
emerging areas in which interest of the
child is being developed should be
identified and noted so that
development on individual basis can
take place.
Routines /Transitions:
The routine should be developed in
such a manner that the child develops
the skills that he should develop along
with passing years. Routine involves
making child habitual to the activities
that he is required to perform daily and
as per the allotted timeframes i.e. the
bathroom ti8me, the arrival time, lunch
time, nap time, prayer time, play time
etc.
Intentional
Teaching
Strategies:
The strategies that I intend to use in
order to achieve the learning
outcome are coaching, storytelling,
role playing, setting up scenarios,
and indulging in one to one
interaction with the students. These
techniques will help in developing
Children’s Voices
Once in every week, each children
will be invited by the teacher i.e.
me and I will ask them to tell
everyone all their thoughts, feeling
etc. about everything that has
happened in the entire week. Tis
will help me in determining their
mental state and identify if they
are facing any problems. Further
by taking notes, the teacher can
Indoor
Experiences
The indoors will be as per certain
guidelines i.e. if there is sufficient
light, whether children can see
outside, creative surroundings,
playing hide and seek or conducting
other indoor activities with the child
that will help them in enhancing their
learning experience.
Spontaneous
Teachable
Moments:
Along with planned activities, certain
spontaneous activities like quizzes,
oral tests, indoor or outdoor
competitors etc. will be incorporated
by the teachers so that learning can
be an exciting and fun process for
children.

intelligent learning amongst the
students and they will learn to
recognize how things are in real life.
resolve and address each student
individually. Outdoor
Experiences
Using Play spaces, gardens,
elements of nature, visits etc. are
some of the major aspects that
should be incorporated in the
learning process.
Family Input
Regular meeting with the parents of the
child is done and if they are having any
problems at home which are shard with
the teachers, these are also recorded.
Many times teacher gets invited to the
family functions of the child and o0ne
should always attend such functions in
order to develop a deeper insight.
Where To next: After formulating this plan, the teacher evaluates the various stages
thorough which his strategies formulated earlier are implemented and results are analyzed
accordingly.
Critical Reflection and Evaluation
Where intended outcomes met?
The intended outcomes of the plan that was to develop and induce intelligent
learning amongst children between the ages group of 3 to 5 years were achieved upto a
certain extent. The learning strategies that I implemented made the children come out of
their protected zone and get familiar with real life.
Where the teaching strategies successful and if so How?
The strategies that I adopted for indoor and outdoor learning as well as group and
individual learning were effective to some extent because some strategies that I intended
to use were not made applicable in the manner that I deemed fit. The story telling, student
sharing his experience, family meetings and role play teaching were some of the excellent
strategies that had the desired effect and made the children really come out of their
cocoon. However, sensitive teaching failed entirely because children became dis oriented
and hence became panicked which was a failure on my part.
Which theorists informed your practice and Why?
The theorists with which my practice can be confirmed are the early years learning
framework which encourages to use a fun and playful approach towards educating
students and making them involved in the learning process. This was used by me since it

helps me in encouraging children to adopt a more realistic approach towards their
education and not just take it is place where they are taught or educated but rather as a
place where they are made learned and this theory helped in doing this.
Any changes to the environment or routine?
Despite everything some of the major changes that were to be incorporated in the
entire development process was regarding the sensitivity training model. And in the
routine, there was no such major changes except incorporation of prayer time as well in the
plan.
As a team, what would you like to achieve for next fortnight?
As a team, together we would like to further hone are overall process of proving
learning to the children from age group of 3 to 5 years so that they can further improve
the overall process of learning and enhance their learning experience which would help in
incorporating the student in the entire process and develop intelligent learning.
