Adult led vs child initiated learning...
We've always believed that we should be providing a balance of adult-led and child initiated learning and we have worked hard to ensure children's days are full of fun and play based on this Eyfs requirement.
A NEW blog for schools from Nick Gibb MP argues strongly that 'teacher-led instruction' produces the best educational outcomes for children.
He concludes by saying 'The most effective, teacher-led practices should be twinned with a knowledge-rich curriculum. That is how evidence can and should be turned into policy, action and change.'
I wonder how long it will take to filter down into early years practice... especially as a new Eyfs is due soon! :huh:
