The Role of Wonder: Inquiry and Curiosity as Pathways to Learning

Duration: 2.5 hours

This 2.5-hour workshop invites early childhood educators to reimagine the role of wonder, inquiry, and curiosity as essential pathways to learning.

Through scholarly perspectives, reflective discussion, and hands-on exploration, educators will deepen their understanding of how children construct knowledge through relationships, questions, and shared experiences. Drawing upon the BC Early Learning Framework (2019) and the philosophies of Malaguzzi, Rinaldi, Katz, Chard, Gopnik, Vechi, Gandini, and Cadwell, this workshop integrates theory and practice to strengthen reflective teaching and collaborative meaning-making in early learning environments.
