Point Of Learning With Pete Hall. Leadership In Teaching And Learning.

About: This week we meet Diti Hill, researcher, lecturer, and an expert on the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching and learning. If you’ve ever felt like taking some time to re-examine your practice as a leader, teacher or a learner, this is the podcast to have. Be sure to read the articles in the notes below too. The ideas Diti shares here are fundamental, and strike right at the heart of why we teach and what it is to be a learner.   Key Points: The value of listening How to reflect on the role of a teacher Theory happening in front of our eyes The image of the child as a threat The environment as the third teacher Using provocations to create engagement How we unconsciously override student dialogue The image of the child as powerful Welcoming uncertainty and complexity   Other resources and Links Mentioned: Ann Pelo: From Teaching to Thinking Re Igniting our Role as Educators Ann Pelo: Children as Researchers Margie Carter: Doing Reggio?
