Inspired by the idea of documentation as a valuable tool for making learning visible, pedagogical narration offers an opportunity to move beyond checklists and quick answers to a more complex understanding of how children learn, and how teachers might facilitate and support that learning in innovative ways. The authors use stories they collected during a collaborative study to offer a range of possibilities for alternative childhood pedagogies. Cutting edge, yet practical; detailed in its analysis, yet inspiring, this book is a boon to the field of early childhood and primary education studies.

Reviews for Journeys: Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Practices Through Pedagogical Narration

This is an exciting book that will add much-needed provocation to the conversation about children, childhood, families, and the learning and teaching that goes alongside them.--Patrick Lewis, University of Regina This impressive collaborative effort critically explores the complexities of pedagogical narration in ways that demonstrate its potential to foster responsive, ethical, and social justice-focused approaches to early childhood education and care. Accessible and effectively organized, the volume enables readers to engage in critical thinking about the provocative narratives offered. The book will undoubtedly inspire the kinds of 'complicated dialogues' the authors invite child care professionals to engage in.--Luigi Iannacci, Trent University Journeys offers a rich account of the collaborative work of a group of Canadian educators who have used pedagogical narration to question long-standing practices in early childhood education and care. Their journeys have produced a book overflowing with ideas that students, educators, researchers, and scholars can return to again and again to invigorate theory and practice.--Rachel Langford, Ryerson University
