Abstract: Drawing on feminist new materialist theories, this article discusses changes in teaching practices in Higher Education classrooms related to Early Childhood Teacher Education in Norway. By implementing materials from a project where we were experimenting with teaching on the floor, the article seeks to challenge established understandings of connecting theory and practice, discussing how materiality might be involved. Storying strategies were activated to explore feminist engagement in the teaching-learning space, involving research diary notes and written comments from student teachers. Micro-moments are activated for analysing affective and complex changes in teaching. The analysis process brings up two main areas for further discussions of changing teaching practices: classroom materiality and the material body. These two areas are discussed, considering whether or how changes in teaching practices make a difference and how feminist practices can offer new, meaningful, and hope-full opportunities in teaching practices.
