Workshop Description:
Would you like to learn more about Inquiry Based Learning? In this workshop we will take a deep dive into a project that was ignited by the curiosities of bugs and spiders which ignited a long term investigation. Whether you refer to it as Responsive or Emergent Curriculum or Inquiry Based Learning, join us to discover how an ordinary moment has potential to evolve into a long term project.
Goal:
Demonstrate the multiple ways children learn when their inquiries are sparked from their authentic interests.
Presented by Caren and Sue

Workshop: Invitations to play
Early Years Consultant Julie Hansen
I have been an Early Childhood Educator for 20 years, having received my Diploma in Early Childhood Education from Douglas College. Since then, I have gained experience in a variety of areas within the field of Early Childhood Education: Director of a preschool, supervisor of after-school care as well as 3-5 and Infant Toddler programs and centre management. My primary focus has evolved to encompass team leadership, management training and program development. I have had articles published in provincial and national ECE journals on the topic of emergent curriculum and leadership. My goal as an Early Childhood Educator and facilitator is to support fellow educators and early years professionals in providing high-quality early learning experiences for children and families.
