The California Department of Social Services, in collaboration with WestEd, hosted a webinar series that focuses on on the revised California Framework for Infant-Toddler Learning and Development.
The series built a connection between planning and individualization through ongoing reflection, observation, and documentation to support infant and toddler development in early care settings in three learning contexts: relationships and interactions, routines, and environment and materials.
The archived webinar focuses on how care educators can deepen their use of the reflective planning cycle to recognize and extend a child’s meaning–making, both individually and with the child and family though sharing observation notes, photos, videos, and examples of the child’s creations.
When families and care educators reflect together, family members offer insights into the children’s behavior, questions, interests, and ideas. When planning together with care educators, families can share their goals and priorities for their children, at home, in the care setting, and in the greater community.
