The Froebel Trust funds research into children’s learning from birth to eight years and supports high quality early education. Our charity's work is based on the work of Friedrich Froebel, the inventor of kindergartens and a pioneer of early childhood education and care. We believe that Froebel's focus on the importance of play, learning through nature, practical hands-on learning and nurturing a child's connection to their community is more relevant now than ever.
Hey , I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you Video SEO Optimization and promotion which will help your video to reach to a wider audience and increase your subscribers and viewers.
Looks amazing but you are showing very low ratio, I didn’t see children with complex physical medical needs or extreme behavioural issues which create complex issues effecting practice
The discussions from today's scholars are deeply developed and targeted to solve the problems faced by the slow learning and an unhurried child/student in his academic development/achievement through various points they mentioned like:1. Time 2. Environment. 3. Pedagogy/practice 4. Having patience, 5. Resistance and many other relevant points
Compared to other instruction videos of the Froebel Star this lacks the small twist to creates a more 3D version of the final pointy fold. I am not so fond of the rather flat result here.
Could not agree more with you and Froebel's Pedagogy - our children are rushed, from the moment they wake to the time their eyes close. Thank you for shedding light on the importance of this paradigm, seeing our children for who they are at every stage of their development. As a parent coach, and founder of 'A Heartful Path', I also endorse slowing down, and appreciating each moment with our child, listening with all our senses, following our intuition, and learning more by 'seeing' these precious beings, instead of controlling the present in order to reach a 'future' stage. We miss the golden nuggets when we hurry through life. Slow, explore, grow.
At the 59:40 mark she gives the example of how play integrates multiple literacy skills. She uses the number 37 skills. Are there actually 37 literacy skills identified? If so, where can I find that list?
Hello Tina, this is Mariam Shera nee Abbas all the way from Pakistan. I thoroughly enjoyed your talk and was transported all the way back to 1973 where I happily remembered working with Chris Athey and yourself. These were memorable experiences which I still remember today. I'm excited to see Froebel making so much sense in our world today!
A wonderful collaboration of learning together which enabled a deepening of understanding of how slow pedagogy and Froebelian Principles are lived in early learning and childcare practice and the positive impacts this has for children. A fusion of drawing on research to inform practice. Donna 💞
25 years ago l met Dr Stela on the Northern Line. She was very friendly and said my children reminded her of her sisters. It was only 2 years ago when l started the Froebel Course then l realised who she was. You are an inspiration to me and l guess many practitioners. I love your research on observations and congratulations on your Doctorate.
