Playful Minds: Embedding Fleer's Conceptual PlayWorlds in Educational Planning
According to Fleer's Conceptual PlayWorlds (Fleer's CPW) start with a story. Then both adults and children enter an imaginary world. Playing together, they solve challenges and learn concepts in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Join us in this session about play and sparking imagination. Come and learn about embedding Fleer's CPW, a play based, intentional teaching approach and see and hear about examples in practice in our children's programs.
