In this episode we explore the potential of AI chatbots to support intentional teaching practice. Find out how to chat with an AI assistant to help you find the right balance between teacher-facilitated learning experiences and child-led play and exploration.
Throughout this episode you’ll discover strategies and tips that will help you not only recognise opportunities for ‘teachable moments’ during day to day routines and play, but also to plan and document clear learning goals and more personalised, intentional, experiences for each child to better support and extend their early learning, development and interests.
I explain the core principles of an intentional teaching pedagogy approach in early childhood and discuss some common challenges educators face with finding time, balancing structured v child led playful learning approaches, and reflecting effectively to support the extension of learning.
I also share how chatting with an AI Assistant or chatbot can become your solution to overcoming those roadblocks and give you the AI prompts you need to get started.
Let’s Explore the Possibilities Together…
