Wonderful to have @AnnevanDam1966 back in Paris at @isparisedu today! Reflecting on the complexities of #documentation considering children, parents and educators! Thinking about documentation in different ways, including a process of #inquiry and as a way of #listening.
Great group of people presenting at the IGE event September 9 and 10 at the Sekhou international school in Shenzhen igeevents.squarespace.com Already looking forward to it!
What do we choose to document and why? Join me for @ChaptersInt workshop in September . This time live at 2 pm from Singapore! pr8.netcoresmartech.com/recruitonnet/p…

pr8.netcoresmartech.com/recruitonnet/p… looking forward to working with @ChaptersInt again in September. Online workshop about documentation: a good time to consider how to set up sustainable systems for documenting learning.

A child brought in a picture of the colosseum to share. This led us to a playful inquiry into design, form, materials, and purpose as we made connections and meaning through the languages of blocks, drawing, and dialog. #RCHKpyp
Thinking about 4 big ideas that you learned today helps to summarize thinking and to see connections. From there we can think about which one will impact student learning the most….

How might we … such a powerful way to start generating ideas to solve our new questions and tensions.

It’s me who is grateful for having the opportunity to learn alongside so many talented educators.

Beautiful work : engaging children’s points of view in the design of learning spaces.
Exploration into creating a new veggie garden. Loose parts, photographic images to create a sense of space - rich collaboration, dialogue and thinking. We continue to explore the possibilities! #childreninpermaculture #inquiry #earlyyears #iszl
8 days till exhibition: How can we capture the movement, shape and form of water? Experimenting with ink and soap to capture the ripples and dance of water. What do you see in the painting? #yislearning #play #pyp #earlyyears #water
So important to built shared understandings of the language we use to describe our values and practices!
Play based learning? Inquiry based learning? Play based inquiry learning? .@AnnevanDam1966 has our wheels turning! @aisbudapest @GDolesch
