In this 1.5-hour session, come and learn more about schema theory, the role of observation and documentation in schema play, the nine most common early childhood schemas including orientation, positioning, connection, trajectory, enclosure, transporting, enveloping, rotation and transformation, as well as material and space considerations to support each schema. We will also take time to explore the transformation schema together.

In this 1.5-hour session, come and participate in a facilitated conversation that will invite you to reflect more deeply on your observations of schema play in your program since participating in Part 1. As part of our conversation, a story will be shared through documentation about how schema play evolved from infant age to toddler to preschooler as a way of supporting deeper and sustained observations around schema play in young children.
