The Capturing Conversations with Floorbooks webinar series offers a space to explore the pedagogical thinking that sits beneath the Floorbook Approach. Each month, we slow down to explore a key idea, such as inquiry, environments, listening, questions or social justice, and consider how these ways of thinking shape our practice. Guided by Claire Warden’s stories, provocations and reflective pathways, participants are invited into real-time dialogue where ideas, wonderings and insights are captured collectively in a shared Floorbook. This interactive process makes visible the depth of thinking within the group and models the very practices we are exploring. Across the 1.5 hours, educators have the chance to reflect, speak, listen and co-construct meaning alongside others. Whether you join to deepen your pedagogical stance, enrich your team’s inquiry culture, or strengthen your connection to the EYLF, these sessions offer a lively and thoughtful entry point into the art of pedagogical conversation and the Floorbook Approach.

Equity
This webinar invites educators to explore how equity shapes inquiry and shared authorship within the Floorbook Approach. Together we will consider how everyday decisions; who is heard, how ideas are gathered and whose perspectives are centred form the foundations of equitable practice. Drawing on Claire Warden’s thinking, we will slow down with examples from practice to notice the subtle ways power, bias and assumptions can influence the direction of learning. Through real-time dialogue captured in a shared Floorbook, participants will reflect on the conditions that support participation, agency and fairness across a learning community. This session offers a thoughtful entry point into strengthening equity through inquiry-led practice.
