Cup is the story of teacher’s active inquiry alongside children using an everyday object; a plastic cup. The cups become a vehicle for pondering, challenging, risking, trusting, and unexpected connecting between teacher and child.
Overview
Construct. Transform. Collaborate. Imagine.
Who would have thought exchanges between four-year-olds and simple plastic cups would result in such intricate, creative building designs? Who would have thought that cups could be the catalyst of inquiry and theory making, naturally entangling the discrete disciplines of math, science, literacy, and digital technology? Who would have thought that cups could break down social barriers and act as agents for inclusion and relationship building?
Cup is part of the Reimagining Our Work (ROW) collection. Use the ROW collection to discover how early childhood educators in the field are reimagining their work and thinking alongside children.
Bridgette and Angela, two masterful teacher researchers, tell the story of an unexpected co-created project of investigation. Children pursue ideas of meaning and substance with educators’ companionship and mentorship. And educators strive to understand and strengthen children’s thinking about their pursuits. It is the story of co-constructed learning at its best-inspiring you to look for, and engage in, transformations of your own.
