This webinar discusses important ways of conceptualising difference and inclusion in early childhood education, and describes the diversity of sensory and learning needs of children during the early years.
The Education Hub’s Dr Vicki Hargraves talks about how teachers can develop supportive, inclusive pedagogies and environments that nurture all learners, and explores a range of practical strategies for supporting neurodivergent children.
Dr Vicki Hargraves runs our early childhood education webinar series and also is responsible for the creation of many of our early childhood research reviews. Vicki is a teacher-educator and researcher living in Wellington. Her PhD drew on posthumanist philosophy to understand early childhood education as a deeply materialist practice, and her research and writing interests demonstrate her commitment to creative child- and community-centred approaches to education focused on social justice and participation, as well as attention to multiple ways of knowing and being in early childhood education.
