Self-evaluation and reflection can happen in many different ways. It can also happen individually or as part of a group. Critically reflective practice is important to ensure we are always getting it right for children. #BeingMe #Section7RtA

‘Responsive and intentional planning approaches start with our observations and interpretations of the baby or young child’s actions, emotions and words.’ (RtA, Pg. 63) In what ways do you use observation to influence how you support children? #BeingMe

Dear worldwide #Froebel community,
@marcellatowler.bsky.social and I have been talking about the idea of creating monthly informal meetings in which we could talk about new Froebel articles and books, share ideas, or just talk about our work regarding Froebel. The idea is to make it very informal

A really helpful article from @helwasmuth.bsky.social discussing a new translation of a letter from #Froebel with comments on the spherical law and the purpose of early childhood education. As always with Froebel, not an easy read, but for those interested in his writing, very illuminating.
My new #Froebel article is out!
It was fun (mostly) to translate huge parts of his letter to Leidesdorf, especially his comments on the spherical law. It's one of the most concise and easy-to-understand descriptions of the law. Let me know what you think!
