Facilitated by: Karyn Callaghan, ECE Dipl., M.Ed., President, Ontario Reggio Association
It is invigorating to participate in a network of educators who have made a commitment to ensure that philosophy / theory be kept closely connected to practice, that they aren?t saying one thing and doing another. As pedagogical companions, we will take responsibility for our own and each other?s learning, interrogating dominant discourses that are depleting us and diminishing children, and experimenting with ideas that incline consistently in the direction of stated views and beliefs. We are offering this invitation to co-construct a context where we might think together in large and small groups both during and between gatherings. Engaging with pedagogical documentation (in-the-works) created by participants will be a strong characteristic of network gatherings. We will experience the joy of creating new understandings and fresh perspectives ? an antidote to feeling depleted.
