Step 3: Review and compare theoretical perspectives to the scenario
In a Foundation classroom, the teacher schedules time in the day where the children are seated at shared tables of six to complete their lessons and other times when they can select play-based learning activities and work on the floor, or at smaller tables.
These activities include materials such as construction sets, card games, drawing, and numeracy and literacy loose parts. The teacher takes this time to support some of the children who need additional learning support with the lesson.
Grace, Chi and Prianka are three friends who are effective learners but sometimes avoid some of the other children, especially during the play activities. Priyanka’s mother has informed the teacher that she is being bullied at this time by some of the other children. The teacher is surprised by this information and considers options for improving the situation.
