In this session educators will be supported in reconnecting with their core values and critically engaging with their image of the child and professional identity. Educators will explore the ideas about children and childhood that they bring to their practice and how these ideas have changed over time, for better or worse, through their practice.
Maybe we get stuck? Maybe we are on autopilot? Maybe our beliefs clash with practices we observe or beliefs of families? Maybe we learn through and with our interactions with the children and feel internal tensions? How do we navigate these tensions?
This session will provide educators with opportunities for reflection and engagement with one another and give them new ideas, language, and research to consider around how children are perceived and treated in society. It will reaffirm and support what many are doing and/or thinking about every day and help them as advocates and educators to feel refreshed and confident in their choices and approaches, leaving the session with increased clarity around their values and identities as ECEs.
