Intentional teaching is a popular term which is used to define quality interactions between children and educators, interactions that are reflective, purposeful and challenging for the individual child. It is important to reflect on the role of quality play when promoting intentional teaching; this should demonstrate a balance between adult led and spontaneous activities.
An educator that uses a more reflective approach to teaching is able to build an awareness of the child's aptitude and measure the child's progress.
In this workshop we will discuss:
- The intentional teaching approach, the purpose and objectives
- Various strategies -in order to achieve positive and purposeful intentional teaching within your environment
- Working in collaboration with children to develop and test hypotheses through problem solving together
- Quality listening practices: reflective and active techniques as valuable tools
- Challenges to measure the child's skill base and create activities to continue challenging and extending the child's knowledge
- Balanced planned and spontaneous activities
