Part of the plan

Once practitioners are confident that they have a proper understanding of a child's schemas, they need to plan how to promote that child's learning. Part of the planning process will be to set the child's individual learning needs within the context of the Foundation Stage curriculum. Below are two case studies showing how practitioners identified children's schemas, then planned suitable resources and activities to produce what is sometimes called a scheme of work, that spans the six areas of learning, reflects the child's current interests and is appropriate to their stage of development.
