ABSTRACT
The authors realised that it was important to develop an approach which was complementary to their own existing values and principles. What it caused them to do midway through their process was to revisit these and fully understand their importance in promoting and developing a pedagogical approach across a whole council area. The challenges would have been even greater if they had to negotiate a new set of values and principles and, at the same time, adopt a new approach to children's learning as well. It seems imperative that a much better understanding of the difference between episodes and projects and their respective importances has to be developed in the documentation process. The presentation of this approach is more appropriately articulated to others so that their understanding of its crucial elements is clear. There is a need to become less self-conscious about 'having a go' and letting go of the 'getting it right' agenda.
