Pedagogical Meets Responsible Innovation: Rethinking Early Childhood Teacher Education
Episode recorded live during a hybrid webinar with HVL Media Lab and NORBARN, April 29, 2025

How can we create meaningful change in early childhood teacher education (ECTE)? In this special episode of PedPod, recorded live during a NORBARN webinar, I was joined by Professor Liv Torunn Grindheim and Associate Professor Svein Gunnar Sjøtun to explore the intersection of pedagogical innovation and responsible innovation.

Together, they reflect on why many current reforms in ECTE fall short—and how a more ethical, inclusive, and practice-based approach might offer a better way forward. Drawing from theory, lived research, and international collaboration, they introduce the concept of Responsible Pedagogical Innovation (RPI)—a systemic, value-driven model for rethinking change in teacher education.

In the episode, expect thoughtful insights, cross-disciplinary perspectives, and a call to reflect on your own role in shaping the future of education.
