Kindergarten Part 2 focuses on the principles and intent within the Ontario Full Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program. Students will engage with the subject matter through an inquiry-based model. The subject will provide the opportunity for students to re-engage with the foundations of the Full Day Early Learning Program and specifically: the domains of child development in order to examine beliefs about key concepts of the view of the child; and the role of the educator and the learning environment that support childrens growth within a play-based kindergarten. Students will be provided an opportunity to implement a student-led inquiry and explore how to guide learning through documentation and feedback, use questioning and conversation strategies, while intentionally using materials to extend learning. This subject also provides an opportunity for students to, through the creation of a documentation panel, reflect on their beliefs about pedagogy and synthesize new beliefs into the narrative of the panel.
