Spotlight on Rituals with Jan Faulkner and Laure Hislop

This episode encourages you to ask ‘why’. Why do we do, what we do, and who is advantaged and disadvantaged by the decisions we make in an early childhood education and care service? What will you do differently after listening to this discussion?

What happens in the kitchen can be a reflection of what happens in the rest of an early childhood education and care service. This episode explores the processes and practices that help make the kitchen an integral part of the service program.

Kirsty Liljigren invites us to pay careful attention to what lies beneath children’s interests and the opportunities they present. She asks us to ‘raise our antennae’ and listen to the opportunities to create nurturing environments that support individual and collective inquiry and understanding.

How do we elevate the importance of a service philosophy and collaboratively use it to guide practice?

What is critical reflection and how do you make this a part of your service practice? Critical reflection is a team sport. Join Jan as she helps clarify the common misconceptions of critical reflection and offers some practical tips to transform practice.
