Planning effectively for children’s learning holds endless possibilities. Using a strong connection to contemporary pedagogy, theory and practice wisdom, participants will discuss pedagogical documentation, projects, action research and the unrealised opportunities in the planning cycle.

This professional learning opportunity is designed for those who are confident in the fundamentals of planning and wish to leave the safety of the ‘taken for granted’ and become pedagogical innovators – those who manifest pedagogy in ways that honour the learner, make meaning in life’s daily encounters and seek to map what children know, can do and understand.
