Early childhood practice can feel dominated by urgency. Quick outcomes. Compliance. Constant measurement. This two part webinar series invites educators to slow the pace and reclaim a future focused perspective inspired by Richard Fisher’s work on long term thinking. Dr Deborah Harcourt will guide you to consider how early childhood settings can become places where patience, continuity, and thoughtful decision making shape pedagogy. You will explore how taking the long view strengthens children’s sense of belonging, supports sustained inquiry, and nurtures lifelong dispositions including curiosity, perseverance, trust, and confidence. Together we will examine practical ways environments, documentation, and learning encounters can lift you beyond short term pressures and toward a more intentional, relational way of working.

Leave feeling ready to:
• Design environments and experiences that support deep inquiry and long term learning.
• Document learning in ways that value continuity, patience, and real progress.
• Create a culture of practice that honours the present moment while holding children’s futures in view.
