Educators As Risk Takers

An Ideas that Matter presentation

Abstract

This presentation will cover what risk-taking is from an educator's perspective, why it is so important, and some of the benefits as seen through real-life researched examples, including those of Reggio Emilia and some personal experiences with taking risks in my own professional practice. Lastly, it will cover the concept of responsible uncertainty in our practice and talk about where we can, as educators can, start with risk-taking.
