• Mark-making in early childhood education is far more than preparing children for writing.

    It is one of the earliest ways babies, toddlers and preschool children communicate ideas, develop theories, solve problems and make their thinking visible. In this online professional development course, Early Childhood Teacher Janine Kelly draws on more than 30 years of experience across Australia and Canada to help educators recognise, value and intentionally extend children's mark-making through meaningful play-based learning.

  • Who Is This Course For?

    This course is designed for anyone passionate about supporting children's learning through meaningful, play-based experiences, including:

    • Educational Leaders and Pedagogical Leaders

    • Family Day Care and Dayhome Educators
    • Early Childhood Students and New Graduates
    • Educators working with babies, toddlers and preschool-aged children

    Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced educator, you'll gain practical, evidence-informed strategies to confidently support children's mark-making and make their learning visible.
