SUMMARY:The Journey of Learning: Reflective Practices of an Early Childhood Professional
DESCRIPTION:The Journey of Learning: Reflective Practices of an Early Childhood Professional \nOne of the most impactful strategies I have learned as an early childhood educator is how to reflect on my practices. This is not something I did much of in my early years as an educator. After all\, I was simply trying to survive and just at the beginning of my journey as an educator. However\, I wish I had done more of this essential practice when I started as it has immensely helped me grow as a professional early childhood educator. I wish I had a community of practice to share ideas and perspectives. So\, here we are to support you – wherever you are on your journey as an ECE. Reflective practices can be done in a variety of ways. From quick\, on-the-spot reflections to deeper and collaborative reflective practices\, there’s something out there for each and every one of us. Join us as we discover the pathways of learning through reflective practices and how we can diversify our approach and build our metacognition. We will explore reflective practices as an individual\, as a team and within a community of practices. Discover practical ways to increase this invaluable tool that we have at our fingertips and how to maximize our outcomes of reflection to apply to our practices. \nWorkshop Goals\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will: \n\nIdentify reflections as an integral part of professional practices\nIdentify strategies to support reflective practices\nGain knowledge about how to diversify reflective practices\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\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.
