SUMMARY:Philosophy for Children (P4C): Cultivating Inquiry\, Dialogue\, and Collaborative Civic Space
DESCRIPTION:Philosophy for Children (P4C): Cultivating Inquiry\, Dialogue\, and Collaborative Civic Space \nMonday\, November 18\, 2019 \n9:00 am to 4:00 pm \nAt the Hanahau’oli School Professional Development Center \nPhilosophy for Children (P4C) is a worldwide movement that aims to transform the schooling experience of children by engaging them in the activity of philosophy. Locally\, the University of Hawai‘i Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics in Education is the home of philosophy for children Hawai‘i (p4c Hawai‘i). The p4c Hawai‘i approach aids students and teachers in converting traditional classrooms into intellectually safe communities of inquiry. Together\, they develop their ability to think for themselves in responsible ways by exploring “big questions” that arise from their interests\, experiences\, and learning contexts. When practiced with fidelity\, p4c Hawai‘i cultivates and nurtures a collaborative civic space in classrooms where individuals “experience of dialoguing with others as equals\, [and] participating in shared public inquiry [so] that they [are] able to eventually take an active role in the shaping of a democratic society’ (Sharp 1993: 343). In this workshop\, participants will learn about p4c Hawai‘i from Uehiro Academy faculty and become a part of an intellectually safe professional community of inquiry. They will engage in a number of p4c Hawai‘i’s hallmark activities and reflect on ways to apply the classroom strategies to their diverse teaching contexts. \nThis workshop is designed for K-12 educators\, higher education faculty\, and community educators who are interested in exploring how p4c Hawai‘i can be applied to contexts outside of the regular classroom setting. It is also designed for teachers who are interested in interdisciplinary and integrated approaches to education\, as well as teachers who want to apply the practice to traditional subject areas and coursework. \nWorkshop Objectives: \nParticipants will: \nBuild an intellectually safe professional community of inquiry. \nBe introduced to the history\, theoretical and practical frameworks behind the philosophy for children Hawai‘i (p4c Hawai‘i) movement\, including: \nThe four pillars \nKey activities and strategies \nRole of the teacher \nParticipant outcomes \nConnections between p4cHI and other national movements in education \nDefine and practice Intellectual Safety \nCreate and use a Community Ball \nExplore and apply the Good Thinker’s Tool Kit \nEngage in a Plain Vanilla philosophical inquiry \nReflect on experience and brainstorm future applications \nWorkshop Agenda: \n8:30 am – 9:00 am: Sign In\n9:00 am – 9:10 am: Welcome & Agenda\n9:10 am – 9:30 am: Overview of the p4c Hawai‘i Approach to Education\n9:30 am – 10:00 am: Intellectual Safety: Co-Constructing a Concept Map\n10:00 am – 11:00 am: Making a Community Ball\n11:00 am – 11:15 am: Break\n11:15 am – 12:30 pm: Introducing the Good Thinker’s Tool Kit\n12:30 pm – 1:30 pm: Lunch\n1:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Plain Vanilla Inquiry\n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Applying the Practice to Your Particular Teaching Context: Break into Grade Level Teams\n3:30 pm – 4:00 pm: Large Group Reflection \nAbout the Presenters: \nDr. Thomas Jackson (Dr. J) is Director of the UH Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics in Education.
