This comprehensive staff meeting template provides early years settings with a structured approach to exploring and implementing slow pedagogy principles in their practice. Based on Alison Clark’s research and writing, the template guides teams through understanding what slow pedagogy means, identifying opportunities throughout the day for unhurried learning, and reflecting on specific aspects like mealtimes and storytelling. Complete with discussion prompts, practical activities, and follow-up suggestions, this one-hour meeting plan helps settings develop more attentive, child-centered approaches that value children’s natural rhythms and deeper learning experiences. The template is particularly useful for settings looking to move away from rushed routines and create more meaningful engagement with children.
