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. ?: 10:20 AM - 11:20 AMWorkshops Session One?: 11:20 AM - 11:40 AMBreak & Refreshments?: 11:40 AM - 12:40 PMKeynote: Professor Paul RamchandaniInfo: The power of play.

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.?: 03:45 PM - 04:00 PMFinal Remarks & Conference Close - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/powerful-playful-pedagogy/100001700528619879 - **Event Categories**: business, workshops, conferences, kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fpowerful-playful-pedagogy-tickets-1700528619879 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 65, 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 Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: East London Research School (https://allevents.in/org/east-london-research-school/26880715) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/c7d7bf94d8766fa8caee2870dfa0c66dd30cf5289ce06b1c7b0294dcf96901db-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1759838251 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/4dd0cc57ba6ddc736299301a910f9369627e6c9a66248cbcec44cbc6f9fcb8ff-rimg-w400-h400-dcfffffe-gmir.jpg?v=1759838250 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Mon, 05 Jan, 2026 at 08:30 am - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** University of East London (University Square Stratford), 1 Salway Road, London, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 65 up to 80 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** East London Research School - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** business, workshops, conferences, kids - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Powerful Playful Pedagogy ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Powerful Playful Pedagogy", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/c7d7bf94d8766fa8caee2870dfa0c66dd30cf5289ce06b1c7b0294dcf96901db-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1759838251", "startDate": "2026-01-05", "endDate": "2026-01-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/powerful-playful-pedagogy/100001700528619879", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "University of East London (University Square Stratford)", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1 Salway Road", "postalCode": "E15 1NF", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.5433493", "longitude": "0.002660399999999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "This conference is hosted by Newham Maintained Nursery Schools and East London Research School", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2026-01-05", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "65.00", "highPrice": "80.00", "price": "65.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/powerful-playful-pedagogy/100001700528619879" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/powerful-playful-pedagogy/100001700528619879", "price": "80.00", "name": "General Admission" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/powerful-playful-pedagogy/100001700528619879", "price": "70.00", "name": "Early Bird Tickets" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/SoldOut", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/powerful-playful-pedagogy/100001700528619879", "price": "65.00", "name": "5 or More Tickets" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "East London Research School", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/east-london-research-school/26880715", "description": "We are the Research School for East London.The foundations of our approach are trust and collaboration.
