About Inquiry Based Learning with Dr Claire Warden
Welcome to Conversations with Claire where we will be having conversations and sharing with all our friends around the world, looking through the lens of nature pedagogy, discussing the things that matter to us as educators.
Today, with over 25 years as an educator and university lecturer, first hand experience with hundreds of children, many books written, and a PhD in Education, Dr Warden brings her pioneering child-led, nature-based methods for educators and families worldwide.
Whether we're fascinated by the concepts of nature pedagogy, or are really engaged in inquiry-based learning in general, or Floorbooks in particular. Whatever it is that inspires you, we'd love to have a conversation with you in this podcast.
The most important thing for me is that all children are on the planet to flourish. The question is, how do we help them do that. How do we encourage those people that are with young children to see that they are very capable and that when we empower them they can be really strong agents for change.

Parent Series - photos and memories
This week we discuss taking photographs and whether or not it's worth having hundreds of photos just stored on a phone. We ask, "is there a purpose to taking photographs of the things your children do or make?"
Join us as we share memories of old fashioned ways of collecting memorabilia and explore whether we are being respectful as we share photographs of our children.
