Teachers' roles change
Co-constructing central ideas with students, their play experiences
Establishing a respectful and welcoming culture.
Actively listen to students’ opinions, wonderings, perspectives and aspirations to extend students thinking and action
Respond to the children's ideas and use assessment evidence to inform learning
Acknowledge learner agency and the importance of self-efficacy
Evolve perceptions of children's identities
Observe and reflect on the students’ existing capabilities and needs in order to personalise learning
Foster authenticity for students to explore their interests by giving them open-ended tasks
Offer opportunities for students to demonstrate creativity and take risks
Collaborate with students to create shared
agreements about how to interact with others
Ask for students’ input into developing routines around arrival, transitions, communication signals, meetings, clean up and dismissal
Invite children to help set up and arrange learning spaces that make them feel safe physically and where they can access learning materials
Allow students to make decisions about what, why and how they learn
Provide flexible timeframes
Use the assessment that monitors and documents students’ learning against individual developmental
milestones and celebrates achievements at times
that are pertinent to individuals
