Episode 15 – Bex Ewart in conversation with Dr Marion Burns

 

‘Children are educators too. They educate each other by being alongside each other’

 

‘If we allowed children to be truly creative, we would have a much more effective and impactful experience for them… if we just give over some of that power instead of holding onto it’.

 

In this episode Bex hears thoughts on pedagogy from education academic Dr Marion Burns, former HMIe and co-author of Scotland’s National Practice Guidance for early years Realising the Ambition: Being Me. This conversation insightfully explores research around pedagogical thinking, leadership, transitions, play, creativity and considerations around the interactions, experiences and spaces of pedagogy.
