In this session, we will dig in and celebrate the authentic & meaningful learning that happens every day in Kindergarten through play. A blend of both theory and practical classroom examples will encourage participants to think carefully about how observed behaviours, conversations, and actions that occur in play-based learning relate directly to the Ontario Kindergarten Program. We will also investigate the role of inquiry-based learning and project work in the early years – our learning in this session will be active, with multiple opportunities for group dialogue.
