Brilliant choice: Frank Cottrell-Boyce to be the new #childrenslaureate. "None of us has the slightest idea about what the future now holds for children – but the one thing we do know is that they will need to know how to be happy.” theguardian.com/books/article/…

Thank you Frank Cottrell-Boyce for challenging the 'catch up' narrative, for championing #readingforpleasure and access to books and for highlighting the importance of #earlyyears theguardian.com/books/article/…

Today’s #bookontheshelf is “Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child” by Prof Alison Clark - an insightful guide which advocates for pedagogies delivered at a slower, measured pace for EYFS pupils who respond best to them. Research Schools Network

Something very exciting to share with you all. We have developed a new edited book Philippa Thompson & Ruth Swailes with some amazing people focusing on a manifesto for Early Childhood focusing on what is needed for the next 10 years. We are excited and hope you will be too.

A national #ArtsStart programme -valuing creativity and slow practices that children can enjoy in the present and stay with them in uncertain futures. Yes please .

Read @AlisonClark's latest on The Spoke, exploring if we’re making the best use of children’s time. As a keynote at the 2024 #ECANationalConference, she delves into ‘stretched time’ and #Slowpedagogy for deeper learning. 📖 Full post: tinyurl.com/ykhw2erp Prof Alison Clark

(Thank you! The object we call a book is not the real book, but its potential, like a musical score or seed. It exists fully only in the act of being read; and its real home is inside the head of the reader, where the seed germinates, the symphony resounds --The Faraway Nearby.)

Over the next year our intergenerational research nursery will be focussing on looking at the real benefits of slow pedagogy for both children and people in deep old age. Froebel Trust #slowpedagogy Prof Alison Clark Alison Peacock Chartered College of Teaching
