This interview will give you an idea of what you will experience in our participatory and hands-on virtual workshop with Sophie Edwards, November 30 at 1pm EST. Together we will explore how to build what Sophie Edwards calls ‘relational muscle’ and develop an ethos of collaboration and care.
I am so grateful that Juliet Robertson was able to join me for this conversation about outdoor learning and play. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed being with her in our virtual VideoCast room at Early Learning Café.
In this final segment of “In Conversation with Susan Josephs” Susan shares the power of stories in helping children unlock hidden potentials and in finding the courage to share their unique gifts with others.
In Engaging Children in the Story, educational consultant Susan Josephs describes how she learned that children need the opportunity to meet a new story with openness to its magic and mystery.
In this video Susan Josephs shares her insights and experiences in creating inclusive practices using Hoopoe Books. She offers specific ideas for language learners whose home language is not English.
Most parents and educators are motivated to share books with children. But perhaps we need to ask ourselves why we believe sharing stories with children is important? Read this article about “teaching stories” and watch the video interview with Susan Josephs at Hoopoe Books.
In this video, Susan Josephs talks about this convergence of values, shared knowledges, and partnership. She also introduces the brain research that supports a relational way of sharing stories – a way that speaks to children and adults of all ages in meaningful and unexpected ways.
I believe we need to focus on the ways in which we empower children as learners, problem-solvers and carers of one another and the world. I was pleased to be invited by Paul Jenkins to talk about this perspective as a guest on his podcast at Brilliantio.
I was please to be invited by Katlyn Samifua to appear as a guest on her podcast “Parenting on Purpose” on The Perfect Blend YouTube channel. In this podcast we talk about a variety of topics related to our role as parents, bringing a reggio-inspired perspective to children’s learning and development.
