Curriculum Experimentation and Transformation by Jabin Carrasco https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p By: Jabin Carrasco, Jennifer Claessens, Dominic Custureri, Janet McGinn, Jennifer Ng and Heather Ratcliff en-us 2018-03-03 23:19:08 UTC 2025-09-29 12:24:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Having access to resources that will allow them to flourish. https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/243167552 2018-03-18 10:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/243167552 Of the potentiality of every child and hope that they see it within themselves as well.

For me this photo visually represents everything Moss's written description of his 'rich' image encompasses, page 88.

I think adults unconsciously stifle children's potentialities through adherence to prescribed outcomes and predictable learning patterns. Tracey]]> 2018-03-21 00:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/244323933 I wonder if... https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/244324989 ...the teachers of the children in the photo have opportunities to see how truly 'rich' these children are,
... if these children have a sense of belonging and contribution in their school environment, ...if they are given opportunities to explore their talents and potentials in meaningful ways to them, ...if they are as happy in school as they are out of school.

Children and adults, who are suffering, appear to be disengaged or disconnected. They do not seem to have a sense of belonging. This may be a child in an abusive home who is lonely or someone living on the streets, dealing with the scars of an unloving early childhood. Barb

This connection may be with a parent, a caregiver, a pet, a friend, an outdoor space, a tree, some form of water, or any other living thing. A rich child will find inner peace when he/she is connected and this sense of belonging will continue into adulthood, even in some small way. Barb

I see adults, structures, institutions, rules, red tape, neoliberalism standing in the way of possibilities. But I also see many exciting possibilities and have encountered people who are opening their minds to new possibilities and ideas. I see children who deserve every possibility imaginable.

I think we need to look at ways to create opportunities for dialogue and build relationships that is outside the box. School for us (me) currently is a way to do this but I think I need to do much better at looking at new ways to create opportunities within my agency to think outside the box in order to be able to have programs and services that are truly deserving of all of the families and children we work with.Michelle]]> 2018-03-23 15:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245537212 https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245546178 I wonder if we can share these two quotes with everyone and if they can have an impact.
“Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love”
― Bruce D. Perry
“Relationships matter: the currency for systemic change was trust, and trust comes through forming healthy working relationships. People, not programs, change people.”
― Bruce D. Perry, The Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook: What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss, Love and Healing]]> 2018-03-23 16:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245546178 I see potential for great things - for growth and understanding - for creativity and communication. I see a disconnect between what things 'could be' and what they are right now. https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245759260 Kristen]]> 2018-03-24 19:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245759260 I think politics and policy are making things challenging for those that are actually engaged in ECEC. https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245759411 Kristen]]> 2018-03-24 19:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245759411 I wonder what things will look like one month, one year, tens years from now? https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245759492 Kristen]]> 2018-03-24 19:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245759492 https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245830516 I see curiosity, exploration and creativity. I see teachers and children collaborating to make learning visible and recognize the potential and unique perspectives that every child has to offer.

Selena ]]> 2018-03-25 14:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/245831121 Diversity, I see Acceptance https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/249447326 - Children are unique and individual as is their growth and development
- Children learning through exploration - "trial and error"
- Children's potentials are enhanced through collaboration with educators and peers
-Openess & understanding
Erica ]]> 2018-04-07 17:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/249447326 We have a lot to learn https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/249448294 - As adults we need to adjust our perspectives of children and what we view their roles are in society
- I think we can learn from children to be open, inclusive, and accepting of diversity
- Embrace change
- Accept new theories and ways of educating children
Erica ]]> 2018-04-07 17:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/249448294 I wonder how I can adjust my practices to be a more reflective practitioner https://padlet.com/jbncarrasco/fno4k5dh5b0p/wish/249448884 - To not be discouraged by opinions and the dominant discourse or and allow myself to transform my practice.
- Accept that I can and will make mistakes
- How do I support work colleagues to accept new stories and begin the journey to transform our practices
