Claire Warden: Participatory Planning – Focus on the Floorbooks Approach

$82.50$74.25 Member Price

What is the Floorbooks Approach?

The Floorbooks Approach is designed to create a balance between adult intentionality and child autonomy. The planning cycle should take account of both facets of our role in education to make sure that children are engaged in learning and develop the dispositions for lifelong learning. Floorbooks allow educators to consult deeply with children during the planning and documentation process. The approach encourages higher order thinking skills and helps children influence their learning.

This module is designed to introduce a form of participatory planning called the Floorbooks Approach by Mindstretchers and Claire Warden.
