This introductory webinar offers educators the opportunity to learn directly from Dr Claire Warden as she guides participants through the foundations of the Floorbook Approach.

Designed for those new to the work, the session explores the key features of the approach, including inquiry, authorship and the shared construction of learning. Through stories, examples and moments from practice, participants will gain insight into how the approach supports agency, deep thinking and collaboration.

Whether you are seeking clarity, encouragement, or a starting point for whole-service learning, this session offers a gentle yet compelling introduction to an approach that reshapes how we listen, document and inquire alongside children.

What you will gain from this session:

• A clear and accessible understanding of the key features of the Floorbook Approach, including inquiry, authorship and shared thinking
• Insight into how children’s voice and agency can meaningfully shape planning, documentation and decision making
• Practical starting points for introducing Floorbooks within your service in ways that align with your existing context and frameworks
