3 Part Virtual Series: The Documentation Process

In this 3-part series, we will look at the role of teacher as researcher and how to use the tools of documentation to develop and share emergent curriculum:

• In the first session, we will define the role of the teacher and explore the Cycle of Inquiry as a curriculum tool.
• In the second session, we will dig deeper into the purpose and types of documentation, including process and final documentation panels.
• In the third session, participants will be asked to bring a documentation piece that they are working on to encourage collaboration and support.

Please note that you must attend all 3 sessions of either Series.
