Documentation is all around us, yet often we can narrow our approach to more formal observations, which we can over think and over write using the same methods week in and week out. This approach can result in documentation being more of a pain than a pleasure.

Exploring the ‘why’ of our approach to documentation will inform the ‘how’ and ‘what’ we document, therefore there is wisdom in thinking about the system you design for documentation. This series will explore conversations to ignite change and reimagine the role that documentation plays in your context through sharing contemporary theories in the context of case studies for the field.

This conversation series includes 3 sessions:

1. Designing documentation – the macro view - Systems that support collaboration, dialogue, research and inquiry
2. Documenting with children – the micro view - Creating habits of documenting in the everydayness, living displays & agreements
3. Meaningful Assessment – formative and summative - Learning stories, learning notes and the distance travelled – robust assessment
