The Process of Creativity and Learning: Dispositions of Children and Adults

This session has a focus on the processes of creativity and learning along with the dispositions of adults and children in supporting pedagogical approaches in alignment with HDLH in early childhood programs. Understanding the four stages of creativity within ourselves and others helps us to begin to see the children’s thinking and creative processes in an increasingly complex way. Our own skills and dispositions are in relationship with the children and families we work with. An exploration of those dispositions will acknowledge the capacities of children so we can see them as more than moving through stages of development and onto how they support meaning making about their world.
