Children are researchers; constantly observing, experimenting, and testing out theories. Educators are researchers also; listening to children’s ideas and responding with various material and space arrangements and questions to provoke thinking.

When educators, build on this and create intentional research questions that can be studied over a long period of time, relationships deepen, children’s competencies are clearer and environments become deeply purposeful and rich in meaning.

During this session, discover more about what ‘teacher research; is, how you can form a specific question for study, and how you can document and share your findings with others.
