Join us to learn about how to document and support children's’ learning processes and thinking. The emphasis is placed on how to build a culture of thinking and curiosity that promotes conceptual understanding and theory building. This revolves around high degrees of intentionality and responsiveness by planning for learning that is open-ended and uncertain and invites children to wonder, explore, experiment and play with ideas and theories.

 

Guiding Questions

  • What is theory building?

  • What is the connection between theory building and concepts?

  • How does documentation support learning about how a child constructs meaning (the learning process)?

  • How does documentation support noticing underpinning interests, ideas and theories?

  • How do we develop units that promote conceptual learning and theory building?

  • How do you plan in response to theory building and conceptual learning?
