Future Focused: Understanding and supporting learning behaviours in ECE
- - Learning Behaviours are neither ‘add-ons’ nor a ‘replacement’ for knowledge within the curriculum, but act as an agent or vehicle for enabling this.
- - Key Learning Behaviours happen consistently throughout daily ECE provision but need to be identified, assessed and supported.
- - Learning Behaviours are an integral part of the Curriculum - ‘what we want children to learn’ and need to be planned for and used as an accountability measure.

Session Description
As part of any responsible and evidence-informed curriculum, the role of Learning Behaviours plays a critical and integral role. Future generations will not only need knowledge and skills to be successful but also key competencies and attributes that enable, empower and contextualise these. To understand how optimum conditions for development and progress are established and how these embed the purpose of learning, identifying and supporting key Learning Behaviours has become a growing focus for ECE educators and a key way in which the nature of ECE provision and continuum of learning that takes it beyond, is fully acknowledged and understood.
