Enabling Environments

What is an enabling environment? There is so much to read about enabling environments and there has been lots of discussion around this theme and priorities since Development Matters was published in England in 2012.

Developments Matters outlined that the enabling environments theme should offer stimulating & relevant resources, rich learning opportunities and support risk taking & exploration. Overall, an enabling environment should value all people and all learning.

Take a second to think about what enables your environment, your home environment and your work environment. What resources do you use daily which enable you to learn and achieve goals, explore possibilities and evaluate your options, make decisions and support your workflow?

Technology is enhancing what we do at home and in our workplaces. It is changing the way we approach tasks and the outcomes we achieve. An enabling environment at school needs to prepare children with the creative skills it takes to achieve the goals in our workplace and our personal lives. Children need to know how to use technology to their advantage. They need to know how to create with technology but also when it might be a disadvantage!

The content shared here, on Enabling Environments, intends to prepare and empower you to make the most of the technology in your early years setting.
