Interaction vs interference - Conversations with Claire #10

Interaction or interference - that's what we're debating tonight. We discuss the effect that words like dominate, reflexivity and reflection have in our work as practitioners.We want to be warm and caring practitioners and to understand the power balance that can take over in an early years environment.We also talk about the place that silence has in our role and gentle moments we have everyday that we're with children.Follow our conversations further and download our free practical guides by subscribing to our newsletter here.Follow us on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter by searching for Virtual Nature School.

Welcome to Conversations with Claire where we will be having sharing with all our friends around the world looking through the lens of nature pedagogy, discussing the things that matter to us as educators. Today, with over 25 years as an educator and university lecturer, firsthand experience with hundreds of children, many books written, and a PhD in Education, Dr. Warden brings her pioneering child-led, nature-based methods for educators and families worldwide. Whether we're fascinated by the concepts of nature pedagogy, or are really engaged in inquiry-based learning in general, or Floorbooks in particular. Whatever it is that inspires you, we'd love to have a conversation with you in this podcast. The most important thing for me is that all children are on the planet to flourish. The question is, how do we help them do that. How do we encourage those people that are with young children to see that they are very capable and that when we empower them they can be really strong agents for change.
