Description
A half day workshop for language teachers who are teaching in an early childhood context.
This workshop style PL will present fundamental aspects of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the new WA Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines and offer ideas to integrate the framework's outcomes into a Pre-K to Year 2 languages classroom in practical and engaging ways.
