How might a commitment to engage in curriculum suffused with risk opportunities promote resilience, resourcefulness, thoughtful risk assessment and interdependent social learning to nurture children as confident, capable learners?
In this webinar we explore ways learners have the time, freedom and space to take on risky/challenging provocations in our environments. As early learning settings enable children to engage in risk and assessment of that risk, they build a confidence to tackle difficult, challenging experiences and to do this safely.
Thrilling, often surprising and uncertain, adventurous play provides tamariki with an avenue to not only feel ‘butterflies in their stomachs’ but also to:
Test ideas, reflect, assess and try again (reflectiveness).
Make mistakes and bounce back (resilience).
Struggle through difficulty and problem solve (resourcefulness).
Grow a deep sense of camaraderie in the face of challenge (reciprocity).
