SUMMARY:The Power of Pause! The Rhythm of Slow Pedagogy
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate our 10-year anniversary in August 2025 with us by joining us for some FREE online PD!  These are NEW sessions… you are getting a sneak peek of what’s coming in 2026! \nThe Power of Pause! The Rhythm of Slow Pedagogy \nIn today’s fast-paced\, ‘hustle’ culture\, early childhood educators are often pressured by rigid routines\, outcome-based expectations\, and time-bound activities. This workshop invites educators to pause\, reflect\, and reimagine their practices through the lens of slow pedagogy – an approach that centres presence\, patience\, and deep connection. Rooted in the belief that meaningful learning happens in relationship and through play\, slow pedagogy honours the rhythms of childhood by creating environments that nurture deep engagement\, authentic relationships\, and reflective practice. \nParticipants will explore how slowing down enables educators to build stronger connections with children\, attune to their unique identities\, and be more responsive to their cultural backgrounds\, interests\, and individual play flow. Through discussion\, reflective exercises\, and practical examples\, we will examine ways to unclutter routines\, embrace open-ended play\, and cultivate environments that truly respond to the needs\, curiosities\, and identities of young children. \nOutcomes: \n\nParticipants will be able to identify and implement slow pedagogy practices that support children’s autonomy\, curiosity\, and engagement in play.\nParticipants will reflect on and adapt aspects of their daily routines\, environments\, and interactions to align more closely with the pace and needs of the children in their care.\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nLimited spaces available!\nRegistration closes 12 hours in advance!\nCertificate of participation will be available to participants who join us for the LIVE session only.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop. Please click the link 10 minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\n\nZoom link is included in your ticket email. Reminder emails will be sent out 24-48 hours prior to event. \n*Alberta PD funding & time release funding is NOT available (as this is a free workshop!).*
