Early Childhood Australia (ECA) service practice and training videos

Early Childhood Australia (ECA) has developed a collection of 12 mini videos that they call vignettes, and accompanying notes to be used to promote discussion and critical reflection among educators. 
The vignettes have been chosen to illustrate experiences occuring in early childhood settings that relate directly to ideas in the EYLF and the NQS. They have not been chosen to depict excellent practice but rather to provoke discussion and to support ‘a lively culture of professional inquiry’. This is a very important point—the aim is not to criticise, on the one hand, what the vignettes depict, or to see them as identifying ‘how things should be done’. 
The focus for discussion is on what and how children are learning and educators’ roles and contribution to
the learning.

Read more about this in their excellent information sheet.
