The learning trajectories
Our Early Childhood Learning Trajectories support ongoing professional learning for individuals and entire ECEC services and teams. They describe how children learn and develop in 5 key domains.
Animated explainer videos
Our explainer videos provide an introduction to each of the learning trajectories to complement our practice resources, including a visual summary of each of the key domains.
Embedding into practice
Our user guide will help you use the learning trajectories to strengthen your curriculum and inform your pedagogical decision-making.
Once you've worked through the user guide and individual learning trajectories, we suggest using our reflection activity. This activity invites you to collect examples within the context of your service. You may then revisit and reflect on the examples, individually and with colleagues, to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the learning trajectories.
