The IEYC Learning Outcomes have been developed to help guide children’s learning and development and support reflective teaching practices.
In this way, the IEYC Learning Outcomes contribute to the evaluation of and planning for personalised learning.
The IEYC suggests that by the end of the curriculum, children will have typically developed knowledge and an increasing understanding of specific aspects of learning and development, and the skills of being able to demonstrate learning and development in practical ways.
There will be differences in when and how learning takes place, and when children can demonstrate what they know and what they are able to do.
We believe that it is more important to focus on IEYC Learning Principle 2: Children should be supported to learn and develop at their own unique pace, in conjunction with the other seven IEYC Learning Principles, rather than to focus merely on achievement alone.
