Information Booklet

Assessment name: Portfolio of planning cycle

Due Date: Friday 13 June 11:59pm

Weighting: 50%

Length: 2000 words

Task Description: This Portfolio is comprised of two tasks. You must submit your assessment as one

document.

Task 1: Anecdotal record and learning experience

Anecdotal record

View the video of pre-schoolers provided under the link "Video for Assessment 2" and

complete a detailed anecdotal record of the children’s learning (use the template

provided).

The link for the video is also here: https://youtu.be/sjon4rRQ_08

Learning experience plan

Based on the anecdotal record, write a plan on the planning template of a learning

experience to follow up on and enhance the pre-school children's learning and

development.

Task 2: Reflective practice

This is a real-world project based on scenarios or ethical dilemmas that you are likely to

encounter in your professional work with preschoolers. It is important that you develop

skills and understanding of these issues, and reflect on how to address them, with

reference to your theoretical understanding, the National Quality Standards (NQS), the

Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and current research in the field.

Background for the scenario

You are the trained teacher in a room with 25 children aged 3-5 years. The other educators

in the room include one trained with a Diploma in Children's Services, Michelle, and the

other educator, Zarla, is working towards Certificate III in Children's Services. Your centre is

open for ten and a half hours per day from 7.30am until 6pm. You work full time on a

variety of eight-hour shifts. The centre is licensed for 79 children and is a for-profit early

learning centre.

Scenario

One of the children, Ishmael, in your room, who is 4.0 years old, sleeps for one hour per

day at your centre. The child arrives at the centre every morning at 7.45am and is picked up

at 5.45pm five days per week. Both parents work full time. The parents come to you, as the

teacher in the preschool room, and say they do not want Ishmael to sleep anymore at the

centre because she is not going to sleep at home until 11pm. They need their sleep, as they

are both busy working. How do you respond to the parents, and what do you do to ensure

that the parents and the children are achieving the best outcomes possible? Address the

unit material, the relevant principles of the EYLF V2.0 (AGDE, 2022) and the NQS (ACECQA,

2018)- especially Quality areas 1, 2 and 6.

Academic Integrity At Southern Cross University academic integrity means behaving with the values of

honesty, fairness, trustworthiness, courage, responsibility and respect in relation to

academic work.

The Southern Cross University Academic Integrity Framework aims to develop a holistic,

systematic and consistent approach to addressing academic integrity across the entire

University. For more information see the SCU Academic Integrity Framework.

For this task: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools, such as Grammarly Premium,

may be used ethically for this Assessment Task. However, you must write in your own

words and provide appropriate references (APA 7). Then, to further refine your

assessment you are allowed to use AI tools such as Grammarly and Copilot to check your

grammar, spelling and punctuation.

You must acknowledge any GenAI usage, identify what has been used and how, and

provide relevant evidence (e.g., screen shots) in an appendix.

If you use GenAI tools without acknowledgment it may result in an academic integrity

breach against you as described in the Student Academic and Non-Academic Misconduct

Rules, Section 3.

For example: You may use Grammarly Premium to provide feedback and suggestions on

your writing for academic tone, written expression, grammar, Australian English spelling,

and punctuation. You must not use GenAI to generate ideas for this assessment task. If

you choose to use these tools, you must include an appendix to demonstrate your work

prior to using GenAI.

NOTE: Academic Integrity breaches include poor referencing, not identifying direct

quotations correctly, close paraphrasing, plagiarism, recycling, misrepresentation,

collusion, cheating, contract cheating, fabricating information.

Grades and Feedback Assessments that have been submitted by the due date will receive an SCU grade. Grades

and feedback will be posted to the ‘Grades and Feedback’ section on the Blackboard unit

site. Please allow 10 days following submission for marks to be available.
