The Implementation
of the Early Learning Framework
The BC Early Learning Framework is a new Ministry
of Education document for working with young children. The Framework
describes vision, principles, and areas of early learning for young
children" [birth to five years].
Educators from the University of Victoria, Northern Lights College,
and Selkirk College have created a program to implement the Early
Learning Framework in BC. Working with Early Childhood Educators
they have created examples that bring the Early Learning Framework
to life. These field leaders, with College instructors from around
the province will present this information in communities around
BC. For locations see- http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/early_learning/pdfs/workshops.pdf
