Event description

Pedagogical Awakenings: Exploring the Circularity of Pedagogical Transformation in the Early Years Learning Framework (2022 V2.0) .

Finding and cultivating pedagogical awakenings, or moments of transformation in teaching and learning, offers opportunities to re-imagine quality early childhood education and care.

Returning to the fundamentals of practice as we explore the new perspectives of the EYLF v2.0 will refocus our intention and reconstruct familiar ways of knowing and being. Through these awakenings, what we know is renewed; the planning cycle becomes curriculum design, routines become rhythms, and excursions become encounters on Country.

This dynamic professional learning opportunity offers early childhood educators and leaders an interactive space to explore the practice possibilities of the updated Early Years Learning Framework using a pedagogical awakening approach.

Circularity Consulting is the result of a dynamic collaboration between Catharine Hydon and Kerrie O'Neill.

We are bound by our past, studying together over 20 years ago, and through many conversations "finely attuned to the conditions of the present and speculatively open to the possibilities of the future" (Ingold, 2021, p.200). We share contemporary beliefs about the circularity of teaching and learning that unites 'us-two' (Yunkaporta, 2019, p 22) in dialogic conversations that has resulted in a shared vision and renewed purpose for our work.

Circularity Consulting shapes these conversations into a suite of professional learning opportunities for leaders and educators that transform patterns of thinking in early years of teaching and learning.
