David Gilkes is in NZ for a limited time - don't miss out on this amazing opportunity!
Dispositions matter. We know that the attitudes and habits of mind we bring to situations are crucial for lifelong learning. Curiosity, empathy, problem solving, creativity, collaboration, and risk-taking are just some of the dispositions we see children embodying each day. Looking through the lens of dispositions, along with big ideas and concepts, help us as educators to stretch thinking and co-design learning experiences with children which are joyful, authentic, and engaging.
So how do we purposefully notice, respond, and plan for dispositions? What dispositions do we need as adults who work alongside the thinking, researching child? And what environmental contexts might support dispositions? Through sharing stories from practice, and opportunities for discussion, David will reconnect us with the importance of reflecting on ‘what’s worth knowing’ and embracing joyful possibilities.
