Online Workshop – Speaking With Children So They Can Think

In a very real sense, the language we use creates reality. Teacher Tom speaks about how the specific words we use, and how and when we use them, shape reality for our students for both good and bad. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the importance of: being clear and precise with language; honoring children without commanding or bossing them; using words to create a world of facts and intrinsic motivation; creating space in which children must do their own thinking and make their own decisions; and supporting children as they learn from the natural consequences of their behaviors.

SUITABLE FOR ALL EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS

Presenter: Tom Hobson (Teacher Tom)
