In this episode, we look at the recent federal budget and try to look for opportunities to grow as a self-managed profession in terms of the quality of our work with children.
In this episode, we re-imagine the role of educational (or pedagogical) leader as one who is a respectful challenger in order to help us confront ideas and make the familiar strange.
In this episode I explore the idea of moving away from "environment as the third teacher", to context as the third teacher and challenge the idea that environments for children need to be more of the same from a catalogue.
In this episode, we question the ethics of current documentation practices with a focus on a deeper consideration to involving children in deciding what is significant and what is made visible for others to see.
In this episode I try to explore the key tenets of Reggio Emilia and ask if in fact, makes this approach to early childhood education unreachable for most.
In this episode I examine what many educators are suffering from: "Documentation fatigue" and try to offer some solutions - loosely under the banner of what I call the 5 Ps.
In this episode I examine three questions around quality:
Can quality look like something?
Can quality be branded?
How easy is it to put on a mask to masquerade as quality?
In this first episode we look at "The rush hours: Reclaiming 11-2 for children" and how we might rethink meal and rest times for our youngest citizens in early childhood settings.
