Have you read Chapter 9 – Planning for the Possible?

Dr Deborah Harcourt, with Skye Moore, Shanelle Buckley, and Sophie Daggett, invites us to rethink what it means to plan with and alongside children …positioning them as active planners, thinkers, and documenters of their own learning.

This chapter explores what becomes possible when we slow down, listen with intent, and create contexts where children’s ideas can truly take the lead.

With deep thanks to Deborah, Skye, Shanelle, and Sophie — and to the Mother Duck community — for their generous contribution to this book.
