Program Description

Canberra Network Meeting – March 2018

Workshop: Thinking By Design

This workshop will focus on how to use “Progettazione”- a strategy of thought and action that is respectful of children’s questions and inquiries into the world around them. It will look at learning how to learn with children in an attempt to understand the delicate relationship between teaching and learning and what is meant by the idea of documentation. Utilising the National Frameworks of EYLF and Australian Curriculum, it will unpack ways to structure an inquiry, looking at different entry points to best fit the group of children that each educators have. It will introduce the idea of an inquiry cycle which includes searching for the Nodes and relaunching ideas to ensure depth.
