Relationships based play pedagogy
What role does our relationship with children play in play itself? A lot more than you realise! In this session, we will address how children’s learning occurs in social contexts that have joint attention, interactions, conversations and shared thinking. We will explore how having secure and reciprocal relationships with children is an educator’s best resource in planning and programming play experiences, as well as setting up learning environments that meet the needs and interests of all children. This is a great session for educators as we deep dive into the frameworks and unpack how a relationship-based play pedagogy fits.
