Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child: Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education | byAlison Clark | Routledge
This is a timely publication, a welcome antidote to the narrative about ‘catching up’, ‘lost learning’ and ‘filling gaps’ following the Covid pandemic. It is based on international conversations and focus groups, involving 20 early childhood and primary researchers across 11 countries. The author draws on projects such as ‘the Reggio Emilia approach’; a ‘Repeated Picture Book Reading’ from Israel; ‘Helicopter Stories’ inspired by the work of Gussin-Paley; the ‘Slow Food’ movement as in ‘Marvellous Meals’, a Scottish project; as well as the ‘Mosaic Approach’ and Froebelian teaching.
