EYFS Curriculum

OFSTED definition of teaching

‘Teaching should not be taken to imply a “top down” or formal way of working. It is a broad term that covers the many ways in which adults help young children learn. It includes their interactions with children during planned and child-initiated play and activities: communicating and modelling language, showing, explaining, demonstrating, exploring ideas, encouraging, questioning, recalling, providing a narrative for what they are doing, facilitating and setting challenges.

It takes account of equipment adults provide and the attention given to the physical environment, as well as the structure and routines of the day that establish expectations.’
