INTRO TO INTERMEDIATE
Resource Guide
The planning cycle is a guide, it’s meant to help us navigate and have a process to follow in a supportive manner. But where most educators get stuck {and I did too} was in the where to go next.
You know that children make sense of their world through play. Those common interests of balls, cars, dolls and dinosaurs are the catalyst to the cause and effect, relationships, emotions and morals that the children are really exploring.
Just as children are trying to make sense of their world through researching...this is the KEY for you as the educator when in the planning cycle.

I have worked in the field for 19 years. I always love to expand my knowledge. Thanks so.much for opening my eyes to another way to look at the behaviours of children. Great workshop.
