Customer Reviews

What educators say about this course:

  • Jess Beattie - Rated ★★★★★

    Extremely beneficial - Inspired knowledge and ideas to reflect on and improve how I collect, share, assess and use documentation.


    "This course has inspired me to think about my current practice and reflect on documentation moving forward. It is always a delight to listen to like minded people to inspire and provoke further professional development."

  • Rosalyn Sedger - Rated ★★★★★

    "My thoughts on our current program and documentation compared to where I now want it to be are so much clearer. I understand more what is really required of us, but also how much better for the children it will be when we take on board all the foundations of learning, not just what interests the child."

  • Alyce Chang-Chien - Rated ★★★★★

    "What I found most helpful was the "Paparazzi" documentation; this has been a focus of my teams for the past 3 months as we conduct our research project, so breaking this down and providing further strategies and thought-provoking questions would allow me to take this back to my team for further debate and discussions. However I found all the information refreshing on knowledge and understanding around documentation."
