Exploring Place-based Pedagogy - Webinar Wednesday 

Facilitated by Lainey Walker

Many definitions of place-based pedagogy exist, with My Time Our Place V2.0 defining the concept as “an understanding that educator knowledge of the setting or context will influence how educators plan and practice.” At its core, place-based pedagogy refers to supporting learning about the place that you’re standing upon and those who inhabit it. Given the emphasis on identity, belonging and community within school age care, many OSHC professionals are likely already engaging in place-based pedagogies each day!

This webinar will explore:

• Perspectives on place-based pedagogy from around the world
• Ecological systems: community and identity
• Learning on Country

This session is suited to OSHC professionals at all career stages.

In response to the changing needs of the OSHC sector we have made the following modifications to our Webinar Wednesdays:

• 30 minute sessions - shorter, sharper content to overcome the time constraints many services are experiencing that limits their engagement with professional development
• New supplementary resources for every session including: 
  • Training  Plan for Educational Leaders with session objectives, regulatory context, pre reading or viewing options, learning activities and additional resources links. This is designed to scaffold Educational Leaders with supporting their educator team in their on the job training, ongoing learning and professional development. It draws connections between session content and pedagogy and practice, and provokes critical reflection on the important role of educational leadership.
  • Educator Worksheet with reflections and activities for ‘Putting into Practice’ the session content
  • This means that even through the sessions are shorter – you’re not missing out on the important bits

      

• Cost savings - enjoy educator team (per service) participation for the same fee
• New delivery time - 10:00am to 10:30am EST
