collate three resources and three teaching strategies in response to the following scenarios. The scenarios are designed for each age group and the resources and strategies need to respond to each scenario.
An example of a resource could be an \u2018All about me\u2019 book that supports a child\u2019s transition to childcare. Another example could be an app for an iPad and explanation on how this would be used.
The following information provides a guide to the key points to focus on. Collaborative discussion activities based on the scenarios in the relevant weeks will assist you with the preparation and ideation of items for your folio.
In your folio you need to:
respond to all three scenarios
align\u00a0one\u00a0teaching strategy and\u00a0one\u00a0resource for each of the scenarios
include a descriptive rationale that discusses how the selected resource and strategy can support and understand the behaviours described in the scenario\u2014the rationale needs to make specific links to principles, policies and practices in the learning environment, related to each scenario.
Scenarios
The following table outlines the scenarios you are required to respond to:

Relationship with self
Hunter is 14 months old and has been attending the children\u2019s centre full-time since he was three months of age. He is adored by the education team and his teacher Rachel has been with him since he enrolled, and they have a trusting bond. In the last few weeks, Hunter has started to become frustrated with the other children who range in age from six months to two years of age, including fighting over play materials or getting angry for no apparent reason. This week he has bitten two of the younger infants and his parents and the teaching team are at a loss to know why this is happening as Hunter is happy most of the time. They have tried distracting him with things he likes to do such as playing with balls, moving around the room and playing with trucks, but this does not always work.
5
Relationship with others
Alana is 2 years of age and she has been having trouble transitioning into childcare, which she attends two days each week. Alana is an only child and has been transitioning to childcare since her mother returned to work six weeks ago. She\u2019s refusing to eat and sleep while in the setting and she is persistently calling for ‘mama’ or ‘dada’. Her teachers Simon and Lisa observe she plays alongside the other children and appears to have moments where she is happy as she engages with the experiences which are planned for her, especially looking at books, playing with blocks and the sandpit outside.
6
Relationship with curriculum
Anh has been enrolled in kindergarten for six months. He has excellent communication skills with adults, numeracy skills and an interest in anything scientific. He is 5 years old and his parents believe he’s gifted. Anh rarely engages with any of the children at kindergarten and he prefers to take part in the learning experiences in isolation as he sits quietly, completing challenging puzzles or Lego sets, similar to what he does at home. His teacher Mia has tried to engage him in several social experiences and is concerned that although Anh has areas of strength, his social skills need to develop, and he refuses to engage with creative and physical activities at all. Anh\u2019s parents are asking Mia for advice about enrolling him in a gifted program early.
