Module 4: Living Inquiries – Engagement with Others, Materials, and the World

Your Practice

Early care and learning spaces become gathering places. Children actively participate in the community.

Through the mini-case studies, you have seen examples of how educators have incorporated the pathways related to engagement with others, materials, and the world into their practice.

Considering these examples, and using the critically reflective questions for each pathway, you may be able to include the living inquiry of engagement with others, materials, and the world and its pathways into your practice with children, in your home, a child care setting, or classroom setting.

Consider

• How can you include engagement with others, materials, and the world into your practice?
• How many pathways would you start with?
• What do you need to think about?

You can review the reflective questions for inspiration.
