This session will take participants on a journey to deepen their understanding of our roles in supporting the children’s play and complex learning. Educators will engage in dialogue around our image of children, the powerful role we play in building relationships, designing environments and experiences for children, and considering classroom research as a place to grow documentation and forward our work. This exciting session will inspire each of us to grow ourselves as leaders and to build the kind of community that we desire for our children, our families and ourselves.
