Embracing Slow Pedagogy: Cultivating Unhurried Learning, Rituals, and Relationships
Slow pedagogy invites us to consider the myriad of ways we use time in our practice. Beyond ‘catching moments’, this approach invites educators to see the value of ‘stretched time’ for our didactic relationships, the learning environments we forge, the rituals and transitions we co-create, and even our processes for documentation. Slow pedagogy is an alternative approach to education and care, which enables a different pace and rhythm to our work with young children and their families. Find out what difference a ‘timefull’ approach may make to your practice in this hands-on three-hour session.
