Come, play and think with us at a Thinking Studio
Think learning laboratory, real materials, interesting space, and engaging ideas. Thinking Studios are where we play with an idea, think about what we are playing with, construct new understandings and replay to dig deeper. These micro labs or small studios are unique to each setting. Educators who are looking to introduce new types of materials into their learning environments need time to get messy and play in order to create their own understandings. Come play and think with us.
Thinking Studios can be offered to individual programs as a way to bring the learning to you and your staff. Investments in learning fees range from $300-$450 depending on the time frame, the materials, the number of participants, and mileage costs. We always ask what your interests are and we design a learning space from that beginning point. We collaborate together to create experiences that reflect your individual needs, preferences, and vision for your program.
Here is what a few of our learning partners have said about us:
In the workshops she provides or facilitates, her belief in reflective approaches to learning helps you, the participant, experience knowledge building as an emergent process. In these workshops, Kathy provides the time, sets the tone (materials and environment are carefully organized) and commits to creating opportunities for reflection and knowledge building. As participants, we get to share our collective wisdom, reflect on our practices and build professional relationships.
In her commitment to relational pedagogy, Kathy Boelsma provides the conditions that support continuous learning by educators who, in turn, nurture it in children.
A wonderful group of home child care providers gather here last night to take part in a workshop facilitated by Kathy Boelsma RECE from ReCognition on Authentic Environments: the wonder of places and our surroundings. It was a thought provoking, engaging and enriching evening that left everyone thinking about their own spaces and what they value.
