About this event
The always inspirational, Toni Christie, talks about how to set up a respectful environment in your early learning practice. She wrote her thesis on respect, and covered the subject in this article.
According to Toni, respect is the most significant aspect of care and education with infants and toddlers in centre-based care. Defined as ‘treating with consideration’, respect was the over-arching feature underpinning the values and actions of teachers in her 2010 research project in a New Zealand child care centre.
The overall aim of the study was to explore these practices for the benefit of other practitioners wanting to emulate a similar environment. She will share those findings in this webinar:
- How do people show respect for children?
- What kind of play spaces are respectful spaces for children?
- What are the things available to children within the environment and how do they demonstrate respect for the child and the environment?
The New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whariki, refers to “people, places and things” as the learning context for young children. This FREE webinar will inspire learning and thinking respectfully for children.
