Section 7 of Realising the Ambition focuses on ‘Ensuring quality through critically reflective practice.’ What is your focus for reflection at the moment? Click here to explore this in more detail: buff.ly/40QTcKM #BeingM#BeingMe

Self-evaluation and reflection can happen in many different ways. It can also happen individually or as part of a group. Critically reflective practice is important to ensure we are always getting it right for children. #BeingMe #Section7RtA

‘Responsive and intentional planning approaches start with our observations and interpretations of the baby or young child’s actions, emotions and words.’ (RtA, Pg. 63) In what ways do you use observation to influence how you support children? #BeingMe

Dear worldwide #Froebel community, @marcellatowler.bsky.social and I have been talking about the idea of creating monthly informal meetings in which we could talk about new Froebel articles and books, share ideas, or just talk about our work regarding Froebel. The idea is to make it very informal

A really helpful article from @helwasmuth.bsky.social discussing a new translation of a letter from #Froebel with comments on the spherical law and the purpose of early childhood education. As always with Froebel, not an easy read, but for those interested in his writing, very illuminating.

Are you interested in free professional development? Take a look at our Reflection with Guidance, a Froebelian tool for developing practice & transformation - a FREE package for early years settings that promotes wellbeing & transformations. Find out more at: bit.ly/409EVJh #Froebel #earlyyears

We love to see and share posts from settings across Scotland. Please continue to share the fantastic practice that is happening around the country by using #BeingMe

The Scottish Government has published Guidance on LGBT Inclusive Education for schools and education settings in Scotland. It provides key information about curriculum, responding to incidents of prejudice-based bullying, and national professional learning. 📖 Read our explainer below.

This perfectly demonstrates the power of open ended materials like blocks to enable children to represent their ideas symbolically. These children are telling a story about their knowledge and experience of the world. #BlocksRock

Welcoming a new baby into the family is cause for celebration - but can also create anxiety for older siblings. What will the baby be like? And how will this new arrival change my world? My family? (Thread 🧵)

I'm pulling together a starter pack of people working in ELC in Scotland. Please do ask to be added. I'm sure I've missed lots of people. go.bsky.app/3jNU3oh

Lovely afternoon tea with my former headteacher colleagues. Prestonfield House is looking gorgeous.

This month marks a year since I began therapy for an eating disorder. I finished in summer & it’s been successful so far. I’m happy, healthy & grateful I asked for help. We often don’t talk about disordered eating in men & boys but it’s common. It can be beat, even if you think it can’t.

Great to see this opportunity for heads in early learning and childcare to develop their leadership skills. #Beingme #earlyyears

A really worthwhile read and a great starting point for professional discussion, particularly for those working with under 3s. It highlights the pedagogical importance of care routines, including enacting rights and agency and making the most of literacy opportunities. #BeingMe #earlyyears #EYFS

The CFP for the 11th Biennial International Froebel Conference is out. Hope to see many of you in Erfurt next year!

Nature always provides the very best invitation to curiosity and learning #Froebel
