Based on analysis of the case study provided, design appropriate learning and teaching strategies for the child in an early childhood
education setting. The needs of the child should be understood through Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory. The learning and teaching strategies should also be justified through ecological systems theory. Draw upon a range of literature to support your analysis and decision making.
