SUMMARY:Webinar: Professor Chris Pascal
DESCRIPTION:Leading the Evidence Shift: Through Practitioner Action Research \nProfessor Chris Pascal   \nThe ongoing crises of pandemic\, poverty and inequality means the wellbeing and fulfilment of many young children are severely compromised. This webinar will promote the value of practitioner and practice-based inquiry in providing robust and ethical evidence about daily pedagogic processes and practices that secure children’s wellbeing and fulfilment. We recognise that informed practitioners sit at the heart of securing these goals by providing children with the conditions for their flourishing. These enabling ‘process’ variables also lead to the Aristotelian concept of ‘Eudaemonia’. We believe practitioners should be recognised for their complex and concrete real-world knowledge and their shared\, acquired reflections\, wisdom\, and expertise should be feeding into our sector’s evidence base more visibly. We hope that this webinar will inspire and empower practitioner colleagues to become more than consumers of evidence but become more active in knowledge generation. Drawing on the experience of a current CREC Froebelian inspired project\, the webinar will demonstrate that practitioners can use systematic and rigorous real world\, qualitative methodologies to evidence excellence in practice and identify those pedagogic processes that encourage our children to flourish\, thrive and live with greater fulfilment and wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Risky Play - Lorraine Sands
DESCRIPTION: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? \nIn 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. \nThrilling\, often surprising and uncertain\, adventurous play provides tamariki with an avenue to not only feel ‘butterflies in their stomachs’ but also to: \nTest ideas\, reflect\, assess and try again (reflectiveness). \nMake mistakes and bounce back (resilience). \nStruggle through difficulty and problem solve (resourcefulness). \nGrow a deep sense of camaraderie in the face of challenge (reciprocity).
