What you'll learn

How to see learning moments that are unique to each child

By Isauro Escamilla

Identifying and Creating Learning Stories

In adopting an inquiry stance, teachers wonder about their practice, including their students’ learning and their own curriculum and interactions that promote this learning.

By telling stories about these practices, teachers can identify learning stories that communicate with children and families about what their teachers notice about the children’s learning progress and development.

This webinar uses examples of learning stories that show how teachers have identified these moments in their practice and used learning stories to support their inquiry into their own practices.
