The Big Idea
The
FDELK a curriculum resource outlines the “Big Ideas” for the major aspects of
learning. These Big Ideas outline what children should be learning and are
capable of in this domain of learning. The benefits of the Big Ideas are
plentiful, they outline the priorities of learning and what teachers should be
looking for and implementing in lesson plans. Big Ideas give meaning and
connect a variety of skills in regards to topics and themes. When applying Big
Ideas to play based learning, it is often the case that they are not seen as
part of the experience until the reflection portion of the Inquiry Process,
when those involved in the experience can visualize and discuss their learning.
In the clean water project multiple Big Ideas were used including those of
science, math and language.
