"We are finding this diary increases educator intentionality in programming for a variety of outdoor experiences and in observing children's choices in the outdoor environment and then intentionally following up on these for a more holistic practice."

Binding and Covers: This is a 6 Month Jul-Dec Soft Cover Spiral Bound A4 Diary with Black and White Internal Pages.

The Central Outdoor Programming Diary is designed to ensure intentional teaching does not stop when going outdoors. It is a space for all rooms to collaborate on planning a deliberate and purposeful outdoor program that values each child.

Save time checking each room's individual program by collaborating together on your shared outdoor spaces. All while simplifying your workload with this all-inclusive diary that enables quick access to weekly and future programming utilising both notes and visuals.

This diary:

Captures the planning of each room collaboratively in one program,
Allows the indoor and outdoor programs to connect and extend children's learning,
Supports Educators in charge of setting up outdoor spaces with a clear picture of what is planned for each room,
Enables intentional and inclusive environments for all children outdoors,
Provides Families with easily accessible information about the outdoor program and how their children's learning is being planned for,
Fosters children's autonomy, decision-making, and connection with Nature through purposeful boxes on Risky Play, Messy/Water Play, and Nature/Exploration.

Build collaborative partnerships as children's learning can be recorded by all staff in the outdoor environment. The Evaluation & Extension Ideas reflection space allows all staff to capture children's learning and reflect on the success and challenges of the program. Children are also encouraged to collaborate with 'Spontaneous/Children's Choice' which enables children's autonomy as they craft their own learning through their interests.

Testimonial

"I had always struggled with programming and reflection documentation. I’ve tried multiple methods including apps and mind-maps, but never had any consistent or easy workflow with them. I decided to try the Butler Diary for Weekly Programming and Reflection after seeing amazing examples online. I have been using the diary for a while now and have never looked back. Documentation is quick and easy and was perfect for our A&R visit."
