So excited to meet with the amazing Kathy Hirsh-Pasek from KathyandRo Playful Learning Landscapes about her #AJEC2022 Keynote Session….. still time to register for this fab event: earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/events/ajecsym… thanks Susan Edwards and @SheilaDegotardi for your input! Early Childhood Australia

Teacher friends if you’re not following Geoff and Margaret please do yourself a favour and have a read. Thank you!

Play as a “biological imperative”… but what do we know from 50 years of research on play? Asks KathyandRo

How do we have a more nuanced conversation about play, playful learning, free play…. #AJEC2022

So many great provocations arising from #AJEC2022…… How do we build our workforce? Who is driving research and policy? How do we ensure impactful ECEC research? How can we enable bi-unilateral knowledge transfer?

Great #ajec2022 session on policy Dr Sarika Kewalramani & Sini Kontkanen and practice Fiona Mayne & Gerardine Neylon …. So many questions in #tpack, #edtech and #ececpedagogy to discuss.

What a quote for us as researchers…. Thank you Sally Staton for quoting Prof. Karen Thorpe in encouraging us to focus on the problem we are solving rather than the paper…. #AJEC2022

Another day at #ajec2022 yay!

Thank you Grace Sara - a powerful reminder to consider the lived experience of our children & focus on culturally responsive pedagogy in all our work. #AJEC2022
