The Froebel session with Donna Green & Shirley Couser on slow pedagogy was a beautiful reminder to slow down & be truly present. Learning unfolds best when we create time & space for curiosity, reflection & connection. #SlowPedagogy #PlayPedagogy

Love this hands-on approach to exploring place value from our @PlayScotland #PlayPedagogyAward school @Kinneil_PS. Using cards and base ten blocks brings numeracy to life through exploration, collaboration and deep thinking, brilliant stuff! #ScotEduSky #EduSky #PlayPedagogy

Absolutely! Let’s stop trying to evidence learning like it’s a checklist, and start noticing the spark, strength and spirit each learner brings. That’s what truly matters, and that’s where the transformation happens. #ScotEduSky #EduSky #PlayPedagogy

One of the guests for the Play Pedagogy panel used this quote in her slides. I loved it because I feel it really sum me up as a person.

Prioritising Play
Gloria Ladson-Billings reminds us: play isn’t neutral. It should reflect the identities, joy & lived experiences of every child.
Play is powerful.
Play is personal.
Play is political.
