How Does Learning Happen in a Home-Based Setting?
Part 2: Invitations to Play in a Home Child Care Setting
Are you trying to get to grips with taking the interests of children and linking them to provocations for learning and invitations to play? This interactive workshop will consider the role of schema play and offering experiences that cater to all the senses. Participants will be introduced to the concept of Messing About, which was developed by David and Frances Hawkins, and explore how it supports educators to provide meaningful, developmentally appropriate experiences for children of all ages. There will be an opportunity for participants to set up an invitation to play utilizing A Thinking Lens for Reflection and Inquiry° after which participants will be able to Mess About with their invitation to play using Higher Order Thinking Prompts.
