Intentional Educator

Empowering educators to reflect, document, and create intentional learning environments.

  • Programming and Curriculum

This session is designed to empower early childhood educators to reflect on what motivates them in their practice and to draw on their strengths and experience while using pedagogical documentation to focus on creating nurturing and inspiring environments for children.

This offering will focus on several key aspects, including:

  • The characteristics and practices of an intentional, reflective educator.
  • Using Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) to create high-quality curricula.
  • An introduction to emergent curriculum and the Plan–Do–Review cycle.
  • Methods of pedagogical documentation to capture and validate children’s learning and development.

Session information:

Participants will explore documentation in a meaningful way, with an emphasis on fostering reflective program planning and creating learning stories. By documenting individual schemas and areas of interest, educators will be able to better recognize the impact of their environment and materials while celebrating the diverse learning paths of each child.
