This fifth webinar in the National Aistear Webinar series Exploring and Understanding the Updated Aistear focuses on exploring a shared understanding of Aistear’s Reflective Cycle of Planning and Assessing in practice.

This webinar focuses on why we plan for and assess children’s learning, examining how these processes support children’s rights, agency and voice through a slow relational pedagogy.

The session will explore how the Reflective Cycle of Noticing, Nurturing, Responding and Reflecting supports educators to understand what matters to babies, toddlers and young children and to create meaningful, responsive learning experiences.

It will also consider the purpose of documenting children’s learning and how pedagogical documentation can make children’s learning, development and lived experiences visible.

Grounded in both research and practical examples, the webinar will illustrate how the Reflective Cycle can be brought to life with babies, toddlers and young children in everyday practice.

Speakers:
Dr. Mary Daly- overview of the Reflective Cycle in Aistear (2024)

Sharon Skehill- who will share insights from her work on the development of Aistear’s Reflective Cycle of Planning and Assessing, exploring why planning and assessing are central to supporting children’s rights, agency, voice and learning.

Lorraine Farrell, National Aistear Development Officer, will conclude the session with a short input on the resources available to support educators to reflect on why they plan and assess for children’s learning in practice.

🌿🌟🫶The next wellbeing session for educators will be held Monday 2nd Nov 7-8.30pm in the Park Hotel.

This session is open to all working in the sector and is held every 6 weeks.

What does a typical session look like?

The whole session is chair based. It is framed as a relaxing reflective space for educators to gather together. We begin with a breathwork practice to ground everyone into the session.

We then have discussion regarding strengths and challenges arising in the work and peer solution sharing. There is usually a reflective theme that we can take back into our work for the following weeks.

There are also practices completed that are taken from positive psychology, coaching, meditation, ta chi, qi gong and reflective practice. You do not have to attend every session and can drop in throughout the year.

Those who attend would feedback that it is a relaxing supportive session where they can replenish their strength and wellbeing and self compassion to return to work feeling rejuvenated.

If you would like more details on the session contact Deirdre at [email protected]
