Why attend this free session?
This session will challenge educators to reflect on how their planning reflects the image of the child they hold. When educators hold an image of the child as strong, capable, and competent, they act with intentionality. They develop play-based learning environments, both indoors and outdoors that are stimulating, challenging and reflect children’s interests. Their relationships with children are respectful and reciprocal to act as a co-learner and collaborator with children. They empower children to develop autonomy, to make meaningful choices and have a voice in the decisions that impact their lives. They reflect on their practice and ask questions to ensure that children’s intelligence, rights and aspirations are central.
