= Slow knowledge and the unhurried child =
In the first session Alison Clark will introduce key themes from her two year study: ‘Slow knowledge and the unhurried child’ that explored the relationship with time in ECEC and draws attention to the importance of slow practices. What might a timeful kindergarten look like? How does this relate to a pedagogy of listening and what is the particular contribution that connections to place bring to thinking about ‘slow’?
= Deepening connections with people and place =
In the second session, Jacqui Lees will present her Teaching and Learning Research Initiative (TLRI) research project, looking at how early childhood centres support children to experience and learn about their local area, its stories, and cultural meanings. The presentation will look at how the teaching team from Pakuranga Baptist Kindergarten used the pedagogy of listening and an unhurried approach to learning to support children to deepen their understandings about a Taniwha that is part of their local Tainui stories.
Only $80 per person!
