Nursery World - Ways & means

Early years workers give case studies of children they observed using schemas and list how they shared their understanding in the setting and with parents at home Understanding schemas can help practitioners in the Foundation Stage in the way they observe children at play, support children's learning, plan future learning and work with parents, who invariably find schemas fascinating.

Understanding schemas can help practitioners in the Foundation Stage in the way they observe children at play, support children's learning, plan future learning and work with parents, who invariably find schemas fascinating.

Knowing about schemas will also help practitioners to implement the planned framework for working with under-threes. Effective Framework for Adults Working with Children from Birth to Three is currently under development and will be introduced in England in 2003.
