ECPN Pedagogist Orientation

This course is for pedagogists working within the ECPN and is designed to support their orientation to the role.

Welcome to the ECPN Pedagogist Orientation

The Pedagogist Orientation is an emergent course that is shaped by pedagogists’ ongoing participation. The course content includes encounters (‘modules’) and virtual salons (‘lessons’) that pedagogists will move through both as a collective and individually. New encounters will be opened and virtual salons will be added as we engage in the orientation throughout the year. 

We encourage participants to interact with the Pedagogist Orientation as an emergent, fluid, lively virtual meeting place for our thinking and learning together. If you are new to this course, you will start with the encounter called “Beginnings” and it will be the only encounter available at first. Later you will have several encounters available to manoeuvre through.

Scenario-based learning allows learners to view situations from different perspectives, encouraging thoughtful reflection. Applying learning in a more practical way can help to build confidence and gives the learner the ability to transfer knowledge to real-life work. You will see how best practices might look in action, determine alternate strategies you could implement in these situations, and reflect on your own experiences as a care provider.

Your task is to take on the perspective of the provider within the scenario and determine:

  • What worked well?
  • What, if anything, could be done differently?

Remember, it is not the job of providers to diagnose children. Instead, we can do our best to create safe childcare ecosystems that promote social emotional well-being and support children and their diverse range of behaviours. This will be important to keep in mind while navigating the scenarios in Module 4.
