Slow Pedagogy

This course explores ‘slow pedagogy’ based on the research of Professor Alison Clark (2023) Various examples will be shared to examine the ‘unhurried child’ within the early years.

Where do we start?

How do we establish time for children to fully explore their own ideas?

What could the rhythm of the day look like?

The role of the adult will also be a focus through examining key occupations to support educators within the setting. What interactions are effective, and which interactions hinder children’s thinking. A model of implementation will be shared with participants on how this may be adapted to support our own teaching and learning.  This presentation is solely based on work within the field of early years.
