The Art of Being an Educator: Lessons from Jazz
from The Intentional ECE · host Cathy Belgrave
Educators are often told to “facilitate”, or “teach” - but rarely are we invited to consider the art of knowing when to do each.In this episode, we explore responsiveness as relational attunement in action. Using the metaphor of jazz, we reflect on moving between three stances - honouring play, supporting flow, and extending knowledge.This episode offers both conceptual clarity and reflective questions to help educators strengthen their discernment and deepen their practice.Because the art of being an educator is not about mastering one role - it’s about learning when to shift.The Original Learning Approach by Suzanne AxelssonThe Intentional Educator
