Mind Mapping for Early Childhood Educators: A Recorded Workshop on Planning, Brainstorming and Inquiry for early childhood teachers

A recorded professional development workshop, 1 hour 44 minutes, on using mind maps to plan your curriculum, brainstorm with children, and run inquiry that actually goes somewhere.

If your planning currently lives in a linear document and you keep losing the thread between a child's interest, the experience you set up, and the outcome you tagged, this workshop is built for you. Mind mapping holds all three in view at once.

What you get

✓ Full recorded workshop, 1 hour 44 minutes, watch at your own pace

✓ The complete PowerPoint slides to keep and refer back to

✓ Real mind maps I have made, both digital and hand-drawn, walked through on screen

✓ A worked comparison of mind mapping and webbing, and when each one suits the job better

✓ Practical prompts for brainstorming with children so their thinking shapes the map

What you will be able to do afterwards

Map a term's planning on one page and see where the gaps sit. Run a brainstorm with a group of four-year-olds and come away with something you can plan from. Show your educational leader how a child's question became a fortnight of learning, with the links visible.

Webbing gets taught in most Diploma courses and then never mentioned again. This workshop covers where it still works, where mind mapping does the job better, and how to choose without overthinking it.

Who it suits

Educators and teachers planning under the EYLF 2.0, room leaders building a program with a team, educational leaders looking for a way to make the planning cycle visible to families, and students on placement who need to show their planning thinking on paper.

Instant download. Yours to keep, rewatch and revisit whenever a new inquiry starts.
