According to ECEC practice policy, care is foundational in ECEC and teachers are expected to care, yet caring is not mentioned in the Framework's description of ECEC, nor is it included as a knowledge or skill goal. Why does care occupy a…

In writings on humanizing pedagogy, the concept of love is often presented as the core principle grounding all action. However, love, as it is currently conceptualized, leaves much room for interpretation (hooks, 2000; Levinas, 1998; Matias & Allen, 2013).

Having collaborated closely on a project we dubbed the 'peer review of teaching marathon,' we reflect on the role of care in opening up conversations about teaching and learning.

Thus, we do not know how both…
