Very exciting to have the published version of a book I had the honour of giving feedback on earlier this year! A pure joy to continue to inquire into inquiry alongside Kath! @kjinquiry @isparisedu

We are super excited and honoured that @Sugatam will kick off our learning in PressPlay next year, focusing on creativity +play.

How does creativity fuel play?
How does play fuel creativity?

How can they create a virtuous cycle of joy/flow in learning?!

@beckycarlzon Love that concluding line - evidencing the brilliance of life! I’m looking forward to embracing and exploring a range of emotions and am curious about what might bring disappointment, confusion and frustration… and how I might channel these tensions to move forward.

Which resources, blogs, websites and Twitter/X handles do you find inspiring and useful to think about the development and learning of 3 and 4 year olds?

Wise words from @AnnevanDam1966 💗

Does your team have a shared pedagogy centred around:

💗Play
💗Relationships
💗Engaging learning spaces
?

How might these three elements intertwine?

An exciting online workshop series over 4 weekends to look at examples of #learning in #Kindergarten to elicit big ideas such as #agency, #community, #inquiry and #play, reflect on our own pedagogical beliefs and move our own practice forwards.

@Letsgetplayful @kymscott5 @beckycarlzon A kindergartener told me, “If it’s creative, the feeling comes. Creativity is the sister of imagination.” Connections to flow, motivation and engagement, and play being a process, a state of mind and full of possibilities. Creativity and play both support active meaning making.

A wonderful opportunity to explore pedagogy in Kindergarten using classroom examples to develop a culture of inquiry.

Excited to lead these webinars with @AnnevanDam1966

@PatersonMisty Would love to read about its origins, Misty! The link you posted doesn’t seem to work. A super strategy indeed.

Join me next month in Dubai to learn more about science in the PYP!

A chance to deepen our understanding of inquiry, a concept-driven curriculum and transdisciplinary learning using a scientific lens.

Such a pleasure to engage in thinking with @kjinquiry in this “diablog”. We journey through so many big ideas together. Jump on board! #play #playful #inquiry #learning

[SeanInquiryPlayParis @InquiryPlay]

It’s so important to think about the why behind what we do. What might you add to the reasons I give in the video below? #looseparts

[Press Play @Letsgetplayful]

Why Loose Parts?

@InquiryPlay shares a bunch of powerful "whys":

What's your "why" behind using loose parts?

@Letsgetplayful @kymscott5 When there is a culture of playfulness, inquiry and possibility, play is possible even at times that appear to be more guided. Even though it’s possible, and evident in my school, I actively protect children’s time to have free play inside and outside each day. #play

[Press Play @Letsgetplayful]

The only "true" play is "free play".

What do you think?

@helenjwc Your tweet lingered on my mind and prompted some of my own thinking and curation of resources. https://t.co/rImVeXjPJ2.
