Purposeful Play and Active Learning for Early Childhood and Primary Learners

This resource handbook on Active Learning for Early Childhood and Primary School teachers was developed with support from UNICEF, a loyal and generous partner and supporter of Early Childhood Development initiatives in the OECS. The OECS Commission is grateful for the contributions of the Technical Working Group to the development of this handbook. This group comprised Early Childhood leaders, representatives from UNICEF and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). The Technical Working Group provided content, critical review, and feedback during the development process.

The development of this useful resource would not have been possible without the critical support provided by Early Childhood practitioners, Primary School Teachers, Education Officers and Curriculum Officers from Member States of the OECS. Special thanks to Ms. Cathryn O’Sullivan, the Lead Consultant and author, and to Hashtag Communications Ltd for the final copy editing, design layout and formatting of the handbook for e-publication. The compilation of this handbook on Active Learning for Early Childhood and Primary School teachers was facilitated and coordinated by the Education Development Management Unit (EDMU) at the OECS Commission.
