Togetherness Tuesday - Theorising in OSHC

Facilitated by Kylie Brannelly

This week in Togetherness Tuesday we will discuss theorising in OSHC.  Different theories about children inform approaches to children’s learning and development. The Framework for School Age Care invites educators to reflect on:

• Developmental theories
• Socio-cultural theories
• Socio-behaviourist theories
• Critical theories, and
• Post-structuralist theories

In our sharing, we will explore how educators are engaging with theories, how is this helpful and what are the challenges. What do we need to support educators to develop their confidence and become more comfortable using theoretical perspectives in their day to day practice.
