Webinar with Professor Jayne White, Fiona Westbrook, Bridgette Redder, Kathryn Hawkes, and Waveney Lord
This webinar speaks to earliest transitions in early childhood education as threads of significance in and across time.
Panelists:
- Professor Jayne White, University of Canterbury
- Fiona Westbrook, kaiako at the Kauri centre of Campus Creche, Waikato
- Bridgette Redder, Kaiārahi Hōtaka for Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand
- Kathryn Hawkes, Senior visiting kaiako, Home Based Education Inspired Kindergartens

The researchers draw from their discoveries as members of a recent international project that set out to better understand the social and emotional event-of-becoming that took place for tamariki, whānau and kaiako during movements into, between and across diverse educational settings. They share their insights concerning ‘what works’ and why, in consideration of local, bicultural and intercultural contemporary perspectives that have been generated out of the International Study of Social and Emotional Experiences in Early Transitions (ISSEET).
