Description

Consulting with children introduces educators to the Floorbook Approach and provides them with the skills to implement Floorbooks in the classroom. 
 
Claire Warden developed Talking and Thinking Floorbooks as a way of increasing children's oracy and as a way for children to document their learning.  Teachers use the Floorbooks as part of their reflection on the children's learning and as a planning tool for future.  This course will introduce you to Floorbooks, Talking Tubs and Thinking Trees.  
 
This is a Claire Warden endorsed course. 
 
You will gain:
Knowledge of how to implement Floorbooks into your program
How to promote thinking, wondering and questioning using Thinking Trees 
How to design, create and use Talking Tubs and 3D Mind Maps
A way of being responsive to children's ideas and voice
A planning and recording methodology to support Nature Pedagogy and integrated learning
Stories from classroom practitioners on how they use Floorbooks in their classroom.
