Enquiring Minds: Project Approach, Enquiry-Based Learning & Teaching - the 'How' and 'Why'.

Enquiring minds is all about understanding why and how projects can enrich the work you do, without adding more documents to your day.  

We explore a range of topics such as: 

• Reggio Emilia approach and concepts and how to apply them authentically to your teaching, environments and documentation and more broadly within your learning community.
• Finnish Early Childhood education – HEI Schools (I am a partner with HEI Schools in Finland and will share with you some exciting ways we explore projects with children).
• The research behind enquiry-based learning and teaching – how to apply this approach and how to work as a team to explore things more deeply with children.
• Documenting projects – mind mapping, project books, enquiry questions, research data, children’s voices and tying a bow on a project when the learning takes a different direction.
• Critical reflection as an important project practice – considering our own learning throughout a project, using different reflection models and considering our purpose and outcomes to inform our decision making.
• Current projects and enquiries in the ECEC sector – Let’s look at some of the current projects which we are exploring as a sector and understand the planning, considerations and results of these projects.

We will unpack many concepts and I will share some real examples and templates with you. 

Please also feel free to bring some examples of what you are currently doing, all your questions AND your willingness to learn and be open-minded. 

Can't wait to see you and laugh with you! My sessions always have lots of fun and laughter.
