- Focusing on learning at the planning stage means:
- being clear about the learning and teaching objectives in planning and sharing them with the children and their parents and carers
- being clear about the importance of the language demands of the curriculum as well as language teaching and learning opportunities provided by the curriculum
- including social and emotional learning and teaching objectives in planning, when appropriate, and sharing them with the children and their parents and carers
- planning the key focus points for the teaching and the learning (the success criteria) and involving the children by making them aware of, and even part of, the creation of the agreed success criteria
- making sure that the context is designed to enable the learning objective to be fulfilled
- being confident to adapt the planning and teaching at any time if the learning objective, based on assessment throughout the teaching sequence, is not being fulfilled.
