The world faces many challenges so Ella decided to reach across the pond in professional discourse to exchange ideas, access practices and shared visions most especially for little humans and their caregivers. So we started conversations to compare purpose, pedagogical assumptions, assess ideology, compare research and practices around policy, programs, curriculum and services.
It was called ‘Breakfast with Brits - Connecting with Canucks’ - virtual morning sessions. You’ll find more information and links to the recordings for each session below:
When it comes to little humans and those who care for them we want to ask: what do our two countries have in common? What systems and practices work well, and which are not working? What lessons are we learning? How might we consider structures, systems and accomplishments of other nations to assess the process and practicality of our systems and structures.
