How do you make your philosophy more than just words?

Philosophy Tips & Tools

  • Closed

Your philosophy is your 'founding' document. It is what keeps everything together, your practice, your programme, your place and your people. How do you create a philosophy that is meaningful, practical and sustainable?

This webinar is included in our Tips & Tools Collection.

Okay, you have got a philosophy. And you have it beautifully displayed at your place, and on your website. ✔️✔️✔️ But do you actually USE it? WHAT do you do with your philosophy other than display it? HOW do you implement those beautiful statements into your daily programme?

Are you working on your growth cycle? This webinar will give you plenty of ideas for growth.

What does the philosophy mean to you? Does it provide a deep, practical, cohesive and robust basis for your practice? When you have a SHARED understanding and cohesive beliefs that align with the biology of the child, then all is good to go!

When your team comes to shared meaning and shared belief system expect magic to happen - but not before.





JUST ONE THING ✋

This webinar is for those who are familiar with The Heart School philosophy of heart-centred teaching. Our Tips & Tools webinars are a 'dump' of ideas and we assume that you already are familiar with our concepts of urges, rituals, heart meetings, team hygiene, home-i-tising, play memoirs and more. If you are not familiar with these we suggest you watch those webinars first. All are available in one place in the Premium Collection.

PHILOSOPHY TIPS & TOOLS

What is the SHARED meaning of your philosophy?

What does your philosophy LOOK and FEEL like for the child? For the team?

What does your philosophy LOOK and FEEL like in the environment, in your rhythms, in your care?

Bring your pen and paper as we will open up our treasure trove of ideas and examples collected over the decades we have been working in early years.

Bring your questions and ideas. We will open the 'floor' to 'cross-pollinating' ideas. This is your chance to ask questions, look at issues and find fixes.

Bring or encourage a friend or colleague to get a ticket too so you can share your notes later and encourage each other. This is a webinar like no other.

This is a webinar focussed on practical ideas

This webinar will be one where 'rubber meets the road". "We understand that our early years educators are exhausted due to the numerous expectations placed upon them. Let's talk about the HOW, the HANDS. This is not a webinar where we talk about the why or the what. You will get practical tips and tools 'served on a platter'!

Your philosophy is at the heart of what you do. It's your:

ANCHOR

It sits at the core, what we choose to see, what we prioritise, how we respond, and how we serve.

COMPASS

It guides you, supporting your decision making and intention-setting, keeping you on the path you want to be on.

YARDSTICK

It helps you measure what really matters - how you are really doing for the children you serve.

How, as a team, can you move from paying lip service to your beliefs and philosophy, to paying them real service. What do you expect to see, hear, and feel in your setting?
