Join Dr. Diane Kashin as she shares a topic that she is very knowledgeable and passionate about, exploring children’s interests and theories as inspiration for programming. In both indoor and outdoor environments, children will make discoveries during their play, and will respond with interest as they are “theory builders”. She will also challenge you to consider how complex children’s interests are, and reflect on how and why we use them for curriculum development.
An understanding of children and teachers as “theory builders”
How to observe and listen to children’s play
How children’s interests can be the catalyst for meaningful play and learning
How we can use children’s play for curriculum development
This is an on-demand webinar so you'll be able to watch this right away.
