- I'll take you through a common question, "What is Child-Led Learning?" While also covering some common misconceptions.
The 3 big misconceptions include:
1. Child-led learning is a free for all.
2. There is no circle time.
3. There is no teacher-directed activities.
Another common question I cover is, "What does the educator do?" and "Do you use packaged curriculum in child-led learning?"
In this video, all your questions are answered. Check out our other videos too, we expand on many concepts and I take you through play invitations and what it looks like to follow the child's interest.
Love how you shared the distinctions between traditional and child-led. And I can see how being childled leds to more confidence in a child and would make them better problem solvers. Thanks for the work that you do!
Love this!
Thank you and you are so right. Free play builds so much confidence in young children.
Love love love!!! Thank you for this.
This was magical! Such a wonderful description and outstanding myth-busting! The beautiful play of the children added so much context, and of course: delightful ideas!!! 💖Thank you!
Thank you! The children's play in the videos is everything isn't it. When children are free to play - it is the best.
Hi Sally! To start...I just adore you and your work!! Thank you for all the wonderful work you put out into the world
Thank you so much for your kind words. And we did video tape a child-led circle time this week. Stay-tuned!
@@WunderledTeaching Yay! Can't wait :) :) Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful visual description of what is child-led play!
It is just one of many possible ways it could look. Thank you for watching!
This resonates with me so much. Thank you, Sally, for sharing your wisdom with such grace and purpose x
This is the first place I have not had outside constraints like when I worked in public schools. So grateful for the opportunity.
I'd like to know more about the adult's engagement in the children's play. Yes, observation is important, but are we also part of the play in engaged ways?
I think there are different perspectives on this and contexts. In my space, I am working to support and provide everything they need as they are playing without interrupting their flow. There are times when it is natural and immediate to engage - but I personally do not interrupt unless invited or providing support. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Yes, it's the balance between interrupting and engaging that I struggle with. How do we know when or if it's appropriate to step in? Is it our role to prompt thinking or will the children reach their own learning in their own way? It's tricky.
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing a vision of what is possible for all ece educators and youth 🤍
