Salus Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 hi all, when reflecting on environment and learning that goes on in a toddler room 2-3's, what key things would you consider? i would like to put together a reflective document (if anyone has soemthing similar and doesn't mind sharing that would be great too!!) things i have thought of so far: 1) is there a quiet.private cosy area 2) do the activities require children to sit often/for long periods of time 3) oppurtunities for much physical play 4) frequent singing and story telling many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreveryoung Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Have you looked at the ITTERS and ECCERS audits? Could possibly be what you are looking for x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 ITTERS would be a good start, but I would definitely adapt it as it can be very detailed and prescriptive. It would probably save you a lot of time though as you could take what you need from it and discard what doesn't apply. If you haven't heard of it, it stands for Infant Toddler Environmental Rating Scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
