Session 1: Inviting Wonder: The Role of Space, Materials and Time in Children’s Learning; January 15, 2026
Children deserve environments that are beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and offer them opportunities to investigate, wonder, and linger with ideas. This is also the first step in the process of pedagogical documentation. If we want to be able to capture children’s natural curiosities about the world, then we need to give careful thought to their environment. When we do, the possibilities for what to document are endless!

Session 2: Observing Wonder: The Role of Documentation in Children’s Learning; February 12, 2026
When we have environments that invite curiosity and wonder, we can then take time to observe, listen carefully, and document what children are curious about and thinking about in their environment. Documentation invites us to slow down, pause, and notice what captures children’s attention and to bring our own questions about children, teaching, and learning to our work.

Session 3: Studying Wonder: The Role of Adult Reflection, Interpretation and Collaboration in Children’s Learning
; March 12, 2026 What makes documentation pedagogical? It’s when we learn more about the teaching-learning process through studying what we notice. To do this, we make time to think about our documentation together with others. We listen, we ask questions, we wonder, we reflect and through this, we make decisions about where to go next with what we are noticing.

All sessions 6:30 to 8:00 pm EST
