Module 2: Rethinking Learning and Practice

Engaging in a Pedagogical Narration

How did the educators at the Hand-In-Hand Early Years Education Program use their experience with the forest to create a pedagogical narration?

Pedagogy of listening:

The educators paid attention to the children and their interests as they journeyed through the forest.

Collaborative dialogue:

When the children became interested in the ivy, they discussed invasive plants. They came up with a solution to remove the ivy and use it as ropes.

Pedagogical choices:

When the children’s interests created new ideas, they made choices about the learning activities based on those interests and ideas.
