SUMMARY:Where the Wild Things Are! Providing Effective Active Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Where the Wild Things Are! Providing Effective Active Supervision \nYou turn for 30 seconds and BAM! The children are climbing the shelves\, running over\, around\, and under things\, biting is now a sport\, and chaos has erupted in your play space! What happened?! How can you ensure children’s safety when chaos is happening? As early childhood educators\, our role is not to simply watch children but to provide a space where they are safe to explore and discover. To do this\, we need to ensure we are supervising children with intentionality and purpose. Active supervision is about taking an active role in children’s play while creating a safe space for them to do so. Engaging in active supervision sometimes means we stand back\, observe and document children in play\, showing our own wonder and curiosity in their explorations. While other times\, it requires us to become an active part of the children’s play and remind them of safety parameters and helping them think through problems and encouraging them to solve it! If we want our supervision strategies to be effective\, we need to be intentional in our own practices! In this session\, we will discuss many ways to engage in active supervision that ensures children are free to play and learn. We will review case studies of difficult situations to supervise and how to overcome these moments of chaos. Sometimes\, we need to be wild with them in order to embrace the play! Let’s get wild! \nObjectives \n\nDefine effective supervision and active supervision.\nIdentify 6 strategies to active supervision.\nIdentify supervision distractions\, challenges and how to overcome them.\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

SUMMARY:Beautiful Oopsies: Exploring the Creativity of Open-Ended Art Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful Oopsies: Exploring the Creativity of Open-Ended Art Experiences \nCreativity is intelligence having fun! Albert Einstein had it right with his quote on creativity. Children are natural artists\, as all their masterpieces are a visual representation of how they see the world around them. Let us foster this self expression through open-ended creative art experiences! For children\, the focus on art is the process of creativity\, not the end result. This is what our focus of this session is all about…the process of play with art (not crafts). Let’s dive into the creative world of what art is for children and how we can be more responsive to their creative needs and expressions. Say good bye to those handprint crafts and cut out projects that take us hours to prepare. Open ended art is about getting messy! It’s about exploring with all our senses and having a creative outlet for thoughts\, ideas and emotions. As early childhood educators\, it’s our role to provide materials and a space for creativity and inspiration\, so the children can be mighty artists! So\, let’s explore how we can do this and ensure that children have the opportunity to enjoy the creative journey and show us their colorful world! \nObjectives: \n\nDefine creativity & art\nDifferences between crafts and open-ended art\nCreate a responsive curriculum and environment that nurtures children’s creative interests\nSpark your creativity for open ended art experiences\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.
