“…There are practices we hold as fundamental to our role as pedagogists in ECE in Canada: fostering ongoing collaborative pedagogical conversations with educators (Atkinson & Biegun, 2017;Hodgins, 2014;Pacini-Ketchabaw, Kind & Kocher, 2016); participating in pedagogical collectives that see education as a common, public sphere (Hodgins, Atkinson & Wanamaker, 2017;Berger, 2015;Vintimilla, 2018); noticing how we are implicated in, shaped by, and accountable to everyday pedagogical relations (Land & Danis, 2016;Moss, 2019;Nxumalo, Vintimilla & Nelson, 2018); attending and responding to multiple lives and precarities by understanding education as more than only a human concern (Haro Woods et al, 2018;Nxumalo, 2017;Taylor, 2017); deepening the pedagogical character of everyday ECE practices through approaches to documentation and dialogue that emphasize the complexity and politicality of these practices (Hodgins, Thompson & Kummen, 2017;Pacini-Ketchabaw et al, 2015); and crafting tentative, responsive, locally-relevant pedagogies with children, educators, and lively worlds (Taylor & Pacini-Ketchabaw, 2015;Wapenaar & DeSchutter, 2018;Yazbeck & Danis, 2015).
