Inclusive Early Childhood Education Services

By now, you have covered the introductory modules about observation and documentation, connecting
with place, land, and story; you have also become familiarized with infants, toddlers, preschool-age
and school children in their different experiences of learning, growth and development. Our Module 5
discussion invites you to pay attention to the importance of securing supports for all children within
relational pedagogical practices.
Module 5’s provocations include thought-provoking videos that touch on the essence of inclusivity and
keeping children safe.
You will choose one of the clips to engage in conversation for your reflective post. These will also serve
as springboards for the later responses/comments in Part 2 of the discussion.
