Cumberland-Capable, Confident & Curious Module 7

This module invites educators to explore the principle of critical reflection and apply the Reflective Planning Cycle to their daily practice. Participants will examine how intentional reflection supports responsive programming and deepens professional growth. Through collaborative dialogue, scenario-based activities, and guided reflection, educators will learn to observe, interpret, and respond to children’s interests in meaningful ways.

Participants will:

• Describe the Reflective Planning Cycle and its connection to critical reflection as a foundational principle in early learning.
• Apply the Reflective Planning Cycle to their daily practice with confidence and intentionality, planning responses that reflect multiple interests.
• Engage in collaborative reflection with colleagues and families to deepen understanding and co-construct responsive learning experiences.
