TO DO:
For our next meeting in May:
read this article about "timefulness"
consider this thought:
“I don't think that the goal is a universal attitude about spiders - trying to make sure everyone loves (or hates) spiders. Living in the anthropocene involves living in a world where best paths forward are often not clear, so we each need to decide what values we want to guide us. Coming into contact with others' stories about spiders - scary, fantastic, wonderful, icky, and awesome - is a source of tension which leads to creativity and learning. We need to help children stay engaged, to listen, and to play to create new possibilities - and one way to help them do that is to avoid the norming of a singular attitude.”
- Matt Karlsen, Studio for Playful Inquiry
How does tension act as a catalyst for creativity and learning?
In what ways can we support a multitude of attitudes and perspectives while supporting our values?
