Re-awakening the curious educator: The interconnection of intentionality and responsiveness

The last couple of years has been fraught with many complex demands that have often diminished the capacity to be in a place of fascination about children and how they learn. 

This webinar provides a moment of pause, contemplation and inspiration to nourish the dispositions that sit at the heart of every educator who works alongside children. Wonder. Contemplation. Curiosity. Connection. Creativity. Uncertainty. Astonishment. Joy.

Drawing on and further developing these dispositions drives professional inquiry and informs pedagogical practice:

• Connecting with our dispositions to drive joyful and engaging experiences for children
• Encountering further strategies to work intentionally alongside children to enhance their learning in meaningful ways
• Discovering an invigorating way of working with documentation 
• Developing a research mindset as part of everyday practice
