This fifth webinar in the National Aistear Webinar series Exploring and Understanding the Updated Aistear focuses on exploring a shared understanding of Aistear’s Reflective Cycle of Planning and Assessing in practice.

This webinar focuses on why we plan for and assess children’s learning, examining how these processes support children’s rights, agency and voice through a slow relational pedagogy.

The session will explore how the Reflective Cycle of Noticing, Nurturing, Responding and Reflecting supports educators to understand what matters to babies, toddlers and young children and to create meaningful, responsive learning experiences.

It will also consider the purpose of documenting children’s learning and how pedagogical documentation can make children’s learning, development and lived experiences visible.

Grounded in both research and practical examples, the webinar will illustrate how the Reflective Cycle can be brought to life with babies, toddlers and young children in everyday practice.

Speakers:
Dr. Mary Daly- overview of the Reflective Cycle in Aistear (2024)

Sharon Skehill- who will share insights from her work on the development of Aistear’s Reflective Cycle of Planning and Assessing, exploring why planning and assessing are central to supporting children’s rights, agency, voice and learning.

Lorraine Farrell, National Aistear Development Officer, will conclude the session with a short input on the resources available to support educators to reflect on why they plan and assess for children’s learning in practice.
