The act of documentation helps to highlight the authentic learning and meaningful curriculum outcomes that present themselves naturally in a play-based learning environment. In this session, teachers will:
- Familiarize themselves with the role documentation plays in a Kindergarten program
- Learn, and see examples of different forms of documentation from practice (photos, videos, student voice, learning stories) and how they can be used to notice and name student learning
- Consider how documentation can act as a form of advocacy for play-based learning
