Play for young(er) chidren is seen as "a good thing" and is often described as the child's "work". "Play-based" programmes abound, however play is frequently misunderstood and mis-applied and can have little or no educational value. This session considers Developmentally Appropriate play and how it can be an effective learning and teaching strategy.
This session is rooted in the Philosophies and Practices of Active Learning and of Developmentally Appropriate Practice, and provides ideas for and links to activities for incorporating play into your programme. It is also useful for teachers in experiential programmes such as Cambridge Early Years and Cambridge Primary, High Scope, IB, Montessori and Reggio.
