Description
Dialogic Drawing has been used in the AISWA Transforming Transitions projects in early childhood to find out more about children’s expectations and experiences of the transition to school, and was used to gather children’s perspectives that informed the updated EYLF2.0. Now, it is set to become a practical pedagogical tool for teachers who want to boost engagement. Like a pedagogical litmus test, Dialogic Drawing gives direct feedback to teachers about their practice from the perspective of the early learner.
By finding out why, how and what engages children in school and learning, Dialogic Drawing gives teachers tangible evidence to inform planning for continuous improvement in the early years.
