Workshop Title
[LIVE] Making Learning Visible (UTC +8)When
Asia/Singapore
The Making Learning Visible project was first developed collaboratively between researchers at Harvard University’s Project Zero and educators of Reggio Emilia. Educators come to a better understanding of learning through the creation of pedagogical documentation. The intent of documentation is to make learning visible by inviting children to reflect on their own learning, as individuals and in groups. Pedagogical documentation provides an avenue for teachers to come to a deeper understanding of teaching and learning through reflection on the process.
Objectives
Participants will:
- Develop a heightened, critical eye, crucial to the process of observation as it informs pedagogical documentation
- Reflect on the importance of experience first, references to the curriculum second
- Select artifacts, images and insights for documentation
- Evaluate the process of making learning visible in terms of parental involvement, community building, audience and assessment
- Explore several formats of making learning visible, including learning stories and Zoom panels
- Engage in critical dialogue with reference to individual and group learning and the process of making learning visible
