Educators foster ethical pedagogies by
- Being aware of their own images of the child and childhood, and critically reflecting on where these images come from and the relationship between these images and their pedagogical choices.
- Acknowledging and responding to multiple, contradictory and situated images of children and childhood.
- Engaging in dialogues that make visible our beliefs about and aspirations for children.
- Negotiating tensions and contradictions that may arise between diverse perspectives within children’s common worlds.
- Addressing past, present and future inheritances that differentially situate children in the world.
- Challenging common worlds as constant, innate, stable, unified, universal, and knowable.
- Situating children within worlds rather than in societies or contexts.
