Remembering Childhood

• When we work with children of any age, it is important that we reflect on what is was like to be that age ourselves. 

​

• The likes and dislikes, the fears and excitements, the experience itself - we have to remember so that we can more effectively work with our students and so that we can preemptively mitigate any issues that might arise.

​

• This activity will also help us to learn about in each in meaningful ways.

Pedagogy Reflection
