flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework

An early learning and child care curriculum framework is different than a traditional curriculum

Flight | Alberta's Early Learning and Care Framework (flightframework.ca)

The curriculum is focused on holistic goals rather than specific outcomes for each subject area.

Makovichuk, L., Hewes, J., Lirette, P., & Thomas, N. (2014). Flight: Alberta’s early learning and care framework. Retrieved from flightframework.ca

The curriculum framework will inspire, provoke, and guide educators in their work with children and their families - a framework of possibilities

for nurturing each child’s identity as a mighty learner and citizen
for valuing play in the lives of young children
for making children’s play, learning, and development visible for children, families, and educators
for respecting family, social, and cultural practices and traditions in local communities
for reflecting on the everyday experiences of children that are the basis of curriculum meaning making in early childhood communities

The vision is for Flight to be a living document and that educators will use it to question, discuss, and reflect on curriculum meaning making

The Curriculum Framework has 5 Core Concepts:

The image of the Child: A Mighty Learner and Citizen
A Practice of Relationships: Your Role as an Early Learning and Child Care Educator
Mighty Learners: Nurturing Children’s Dispositions to Learn
Responsive Environments: Time, Space, Material, and Participation
Transitions and Continuities: Supporting Children and Families Through Change

The 4 Holistic Play-based Goals:

Well-Being
Play and Playfulness
Communication and Literacies
Diversity and Social Responsibility

5 Childrens Dispositions to Learn:

Playing and Playful
Seeking
Participating
Persisting
Caring

Educators Roles as:

Co-Learner
Co-Researcher
Co-imaginers of Possibilities
