Play and Sneaky Teaching
Friday September 27, 2024 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT
Children's Museum Upper Level STEAM WORKS
Educated by Nature are strong believers and advocates in children naturally learn through play. There are no PowerPoint presentations in this unique workshop, but an opportunity to be immersed in play! On-entry, participants are provided with a 'play station' to attend and a 'role' to play. Roles include children of different ages with different personality types, educators and observers. Through role play, participants explore materials and have fun being able to act out children they know so well! At the conclusion of the time of play, participants assigned to the 'observer role' are invited to share. As a group, we will discuss how adults encourage or hinder play, examine the depth of learning that has developed in 'sneaky' ways and reflect on this type of learning. The ultimate 'sneaky teacher' is able to encourage play and learning in a single session! This workshop requires a minimum of 25 participants.
