Planning in the Intercultural Centre

This is how the teachers plan for children's learning. 

 I like the way multiculturalism is always in the frame for discussion for planning. The children and teachers represent a diverse migrant population where the differences between countries come into the life of the centre. People from countries at war attend the centre side by side. Imagine what this must be like as an influence on the social relationships at the centre.

Planning is about domains or subjects for the most part as a framework for organising teachers thoughts.

See here how the teachers make note that new year happens at different times for different children. Evaluation is a tricky part of the planning process, inviting us to reflect on our own reflections about the quality of the teaching decisions. It takes a bit of practice to link evaluation and reflection to the activities and experiences - thinking about how good those ideas were to support children's learning.
