Professor Tina Bruce (CBE) and Professor Chris Pascal (OBE) will lead this session on reflective pedagogy with a focus on the Power and Pleasures of Play.

They will share their recent research with the Froebel Trust which developed a tool called Reflection with Guidance. This tool will be described and we will then introduce a key element of the tool focusing our reflections on the deep importance of play and how we can observe and see this in children’s explorations from their earliest days of life. We will introduce the Layers of Play Framework, a resource to support practitioners in ‘play-full analysis’ of young children, and we will use video clips of children in play to enable participants to try out the framework for themselves.
