3. The Visual Layer Tool
When the core, rings and triangles are overlayered, we can use each created segment as a visual prompt to:
Design or redesign our curriculum
Assess our curriculum at a quick glance as a reminder tool
Audit our previous curriculum to see how we can improve it.

4. Observe-example not exhaustive list just a sample
Child focused – are my observations child focused do they think about the culture, interests, current knowledge, strengths, ideas and abilities of the child?
Relationships – when observing do I collect information from families through observing their practices?
Mandates – do I consider information from current mandates on how to observe based on current research and the law requirements?
Environment – do I consider that when observing the child they may have behaved differently due to the environment affecting their behaviour and do I need to consider this further when planning?
Documenting – Should this information be recorded? What format should this information be recorded in. Is what I have recorded purposeful?
