Celebrating Learning Stories Conference 2017
Session Three: 2.15-3.45pm
Presenter: Roskill South teaching team
Workshop 21: Documenting Shared Experiences - Collaborative Community Stories
Trips, visits and celebrations are a valued part of our kindergarten curriculum and we document such occasions using a Collaborative Community Story approach (also known as Group Learning Stories). This is an adaptation on the learning stories framework and provides an effective tool for children, families/whānau and the wider community to re-visit, re-tell and re-connect with a prior learning experience. This workshop will explore what a Collaborative Community Story looks like in practice, the what, the why, and the how.
