Study Notes
Emergent Curriculum
- Teachers offer open-ended triggers, observe children, listen to stories and questions, note interest levels, and engage in conversation with the children.
- Children decide what they want to explore further.
- Teachers encourage engagement with materials, pushing for deeper understanding and using methods like modeling, building, collage, drawing, dramatic play, or music to make learning visible.
- Activities are not pre-planned but subtly suggested, allowing discoveries to build upon each other.
- Projects may not fill the whole day; teachers can allocate half a day and plan activities for the remaining time.
- It is a process where teachers plan activities and projects based on the specific group of children, considering skills, needs, and interests.
- Teachers observe and plan based on these observations of children.
- Teachers implementing emergent curriculum use reflective practices, taking time to reflect and respond to their observations.
- It encourages active participation, relationship building, flexible and adaptable methods, inquiry, and play-based learning.
- Curriculum is child-initiated, collaborative, and responsive to children’s needs.
