Child as a learner: creative pedagogies
***REGISTER IN ADVANCE***
Part of a seminar series interrogating the concept of rights of the child and implications for research, policy and practice
In Article 29(a), UNCRC recognizes the goals of education as it ‘develops every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full.’ To meet this objective within different contexts, educators might rethink the conventional forms of learning to support every learners’ potential based on their values and needs within their cultures.
This panel investigates various views on children’s right to education and culturally-responsive pedagogies.
Shauneen has worked as a professor and university administrator for nearly 25 years, most notably at First Nations University of Canada where she served as both.
It also brings examples of creative pedagogies in contexts, which have attempted to develop children’s talents and personalities through an unconventional form of education.
