Join us for a virtual PD opportunity with Jessica Karpathios, RECE, BASc. She is a pedagogical consultant, Certified Forest School Practitioner, and the founder of The Curious Educator Collective.
Date: December 10th, 2026
Time: 6:30-8:30 PM
Beyond the Checklist invites educators to see documentation not as proof that something happened, but as a way of listening to children, making their thinking visible, and inviting families and colleagues into that thinking. Rooted in How Does Learning Happen? and the Reggio Emilia tradition, the session gives educators a clear, approachable entry point, whether you are documenting daily or still finding your footing. Attendees will receive a reflection guide.
By the end of the evening, educators will be able to:
• Describe the difference between recording what children did and documenting what children are thinking, wondering, and theorizing
• Recognize the checklist habits that can quietly shape documentation, and try alternatives that centre children’s voices
• Use a simple observe, wonder, and respond cycle to turn a moment into documentation that informs next steps
• Balance app-based updates with richer, two-way conversations with families
• Leave with one manageable documentation practice to try the following week
