NSELCF Module 5: Inclusive Learning Environments
As part of the ongoing exploration of the Nova Scotia Early Learning Curriculum Framework (NSELCF), this session invites participants to analyze their early learning environments through a comprehensive lens. Participants will examine how environments convey values, foster a sense of belonging, and shape children's identities and learning experiences. This module offers opportunities to critically assess the design of early learning spaces and consider ways to make environments more welcoming, responsive, and inclusive for all children.
Participants will build on the floor plan activity from Module 3: Connecting Early Learning Principles and Practices and expand their reflections through the learning from this module: the four elements of learning environments, Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing), environment as the third teacher, and the role of sensory and aesthetic elements.
Participants will:
Examine the practice of Inclusive Environments within the NSELCF and understand its connection to the Mi'kmaw principle of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing).
Assess their current environments using the four elements of learning environments to identify opportunities for accesibility, flexibility, and emotional safety.
Analyze how the environment functions as a third teacher, influencing children's identities, relationships, and learning experiences.
Apply knowledge of sensory and aesthetic elements to intentionally design environments that support all children's development and wellbeing.
