To be effective educators – that is, those who make a real difference to children’s development and support their learning – we need to pay attention to both relational and intentional pedagogy. Pedagogy is basically how we ‘teach’ and the environments we create to help young children to learn. In the early years, this is often through modelling, demonstrating, questioning, creating purposeful, experiential and play environments and through high quality interactions; what’s often called process quality. Iram will present evidence from her research over the last 30 years and use video clips to demonstrate excellent practice. ?: 10:15 AM - 11:15 AMKeynote: Liz Pemberton Info: Why anti-racist practice is important in the early years? As children are developing their sense of self and beginning to understand the people in the communities around them and in the wider world, it is our job to help them to do this positively. It is important to acknowledge that the wider effects of structural and systemic racism impact children of the global majority disproportionately. This keynote will highlight the importance of embedding an anti-racist approach.?: 11:15 AM - 11:45 AMBreak & Refreshments?: 11:45 AM - 12:45 PMKeynote - Professor Jenny Gibson and Sally HoggInfo: How a developmentally informed approach to education could transform the early years.?: 12:50 PM - 01:50 PMKeynote: Dr Julian GrenierInfo: Early intervention – ensuring that every child gets a fair start Education inequality is deep-rooted. But it isn't inevitable. Children from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and other vulnerable learners, are not always served well by England's education system. Gaps in development can open up in the early years and grow as children go through school. In this keynote, Julian and Tazmin will share practical approaches to making sure that every child gets a fair start through high-quality early education, underpinned by trustworthy and actionable evidence. These approaches, underpinned by sound research evidence, can make a difference to the children who need our support the most.?: 01:50 PM - 02:00 PMFinal Remarks & Conference Close - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/powerful-playful-pedagogy/100001700490535969 - **Event Categories**: business, conferences - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 50, max: 80, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: University of East London (University Square Stratford) - **lat**: 51.5433493 - **long**: 0.002660399999999999 - **full address**: University of East London (University Square Stratford), 1 Salway Road, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Powerful Playful Pedagogy - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/0a8f85e4d6d0feeb3f447dee219ff45b8268b8898b8e582f795f28b6c906ffcd-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1761976352 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Powerful Playful Pedagogy being held? - **A:** Powerful Playful Pedagogy takes place on Tue, 06 Jan, 2026 at 08:30 am to Tue, 06 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm at University of East London (University Square Stratford), 1 Salway Road, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Powerful Playful Pedagogy? - **A:** Powerful Playful Pedagogy is organized by East London Research School. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
