What others said about this webinar:

A good reminder on what our purpose is. Knowing that everything is for a reason. We don't just do it for the sake of doing it.
— ISABELLA
I really enjoyed the examples that Barbara shared about how to create intentional teaching through conversations - speaking the dispositions to show tamariki that you acknowledge and value them. Also the examples of how to demonstrate the thinking process of dispositions, so that we are role-modelling that for tamariki.
— MALIA
The webinar helped me reflect more deeply on how intentional teaching happens through everyday interactions, not just planned activities. I was inspired by the idea that teachers are part of the learning environment and that simple, low-cost experiences can still support rich learning when we respond thoughtfully to children’s interests and play.
