With Janet Nezon, Rainbow Food Explorers
How Does Learning Happen?guides us to support children’s early years experiences, learning, development, health, and well-being in ways that last throughout their lifetime. It shares how children learn through exploration, play and inquiry, and thrive when they and their families are valued as active participants and contributors. This engaging and interactive workshop will support educators in building on the four foundations and wisdom of this key pedagogical document and bring them to life using food as a vehicle for learning. We’ll explore concepts connecting food, education, and children and consider the potential of food as a rich medium that can spark inquiry and learning across the curriculum. We’ll dive into the four foundations of How Does Learning Happen? - Belonging, Well-being, Engagement and Expression, and discover how food can be used to support each of these important ways of being. Participants will learn ideas, strategies, and activities for creating engaging, meaningful, and inclusive programming.
