A MASTERCLASS WITH DR CLAIRE WARDEN You have laid the groundwork for using Floorbooks™ — you are capturing children’s ideas, engaging in meaningful conversations, and your planning is increasingly responsive. So, what’s next? Is your inquiry evolving? Does your Floorbook practice reflect the depth and breadth of your educational program?
Description
Spending a day with Dr Claire Warden, creator of the Thinking and Talking Floorbooks™ approach, is always a powerful opportunity to gain new insights and fresh inspiration. In this full-day masterclass, Claire will guide you through a deeper exploration of Floorbooks™ practice—challenging and extending your thinking while equipping you with practical strategies to take your work to the next level.
Bring along your Floorbooks and your questions. Through real examples, reflective dialogue, and hands-on tools, you will explore how to analyse children’s thinking—not just record their words—and how to use Floorbooks™ to map learning progression over time. Claire will support you in refining your questioning techniques, scaffolding critical thinking, and creating environments where inquiry thrives and collaboration with children, families, and peers is embedded.
Whether you’re looking to refine your current approach or enrich your understanding of children’s thinking, this masterclass will provide the clarity, depth and direction you need to elevate your Floorbooks™ practice—and strengthen the role of documentation and children’s voices across your program.
We encourage you to bring your current Floorbook — during the class, Claire will offer personalised insights and thoughtful reflections on your Floorbooks—helping you see new possibilities and inspiring ways to evolve your Floorbook work to the next level.
