   Healthy  Uncertainty:    

Examining  the  Role  of  the  Teacher    through  the  Language  of  Clay  

 Have  you  ever  wondered  whether  you  should  be  stepping  in  or  stepping  back  when  researching  a  new  material  with  children?    What  does  it  mean  to  research  alongside  the  children?        

Two  early  childhood  programs,  Learning  Brooke  Early  Childhood  Education  Center  and  the  University  of  Vermont  Campus  Children’s  School,  have  been  asking  themselves  these  questions  over  an  extended  period  of  time  in  their  investigations  of  clay  with  infants,  toddlers  and  preschoolers.  Please  join  us  for  a  day  of  discussion,  exchange  

and  guided  clay  exploration  as  we  consider  the  role  of  the  adult  in  introducing  and  supporting  clay  as  one  of  the  hundred  languages.
