Description: Honouring the Spirit of the Child
As stated in the Early Learning Framework, ‘children are strong, capable in their uniqueness, and full of potential’. Our image of the child and their potential will be explored and discovered during this intentional workshop. An inclusive, supportive approach will be encouraged, keeping in mind your own philosophy and an image of the holistic child as we align the images of child and educator. When we understand children’s rights, needs and strengths to co-construct with one another, we keep learning alive.

Living Inquiries: 

  • Well-being and belonging.
  • Engagement with others, materials, and the world.
  • Communication and literacies.
  • Identities, social responsibility, and diversity.

Pathways:

  • Every child is a gift.
  • Time of engagement.
  • Multiple modes of Communication.
  • Individual differences

Before you register:

  1. Westcoast offers interactive, live workshops as opposed to webinars or lectures. In an online environment this requires a reliable internet connection, an updated device and enabling the camera and microphone for the duration of each session. These are basic requirements to attend our workshops and to receive a certificate of participation so please consider this before you register.
  2. The workshop/course will take place via Zoom. A link for all sessions will be emailed to you a day before the workshop.
  3. Check your email settings and your spam folder.
  4. If you are new to Zoom watch the video How to Join a Zoom Meeting. You do not need to download Zoom to attend, but access may be quicker when logged in to Zoom. You can download Zoom for free.
  5. Join each session by clicking the link 15 min. before start time.
  6. Doors close 15 min. after start time.
  7. Workshops/courses are never recorded. If you miss a session, there is no way to make it up and you will not receive a certificate.
  8. A certificate will be emailed to participants who attend all sessions, after completion.
  9. Self reflection resources/materials will be emailed to participants at the end of the first session. This will count for 1 additional hour of independent learning on your certificate for a total of 4 hours.
