SUMMARY:Celebrating the Good Times! Understanding the Anti-Biased Approach to Celebrations
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the Good Times! Understanding the Anti-Biased Approach to Celebrations in Early Learning Environments\nCelebrations! Holidays! Traditions! Celebrations in the early learning years are full of excitement\, joy\, and play. However\, they can also be overwhelming\, exclusive\, and difficult for children if we don’t consider the meaning and relevance of these holidays for children and their families. Big feelings come with celebrations which is why it can be difficult for many educators to see celebrations through an anti-biased perspective and figure out how to implement holidays using an anti-biased approach. Common questions that arise are: Do we include all holidays or none? Which holidays do we include and how do we do this? Is this going to add to our workload? As early childhood professionals\, we can use this as an opportunity to learn and reflect on our current practices to figure out what works for each of us and how to move forward with celebrations and holidays. To ask ourselves: What is important for the families? How can we be inclusive in our practices? What should we do and what is not appropriate? Let’s learn about how we can include the joy of many types of celebrations to help children and families feel a sense of belonging in our spaces. Join us as we discuss and reflect on the anti-biased approach and share ideas of how to change our approaches to be more inclusive and respectful while still feeling the joy of celebrating with children. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nDefining the Anti-Biased Approach\nIdentifying the role of the Educator and ELCC Program\nApproaches to be culturally responsive in anti-biased celebrations\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:Inspiring Curiosity to Play: Creating Invitations and Provocations to Play!
DESCRIPTION:Inspiring Curiosity to Play: Creating Invitations and Provocations to Play! \nHow do we create an environment that extends children’s natural curiosity and interests in the classroom? How can we introduce new ideas\, based on our observations and our understanding of possibilities for children? What activities can we do that promote play? Rooted in the emergent curriculum approach\, creating invitations and provocations is a part of how we can build an environment that stimulates curiosity and exploration and encourages independent\, divergent\, and critical thinking. Instead of providing activities focusing on specific outcomes or learning skills\, we provide provocations to stimulate a holistic approach to playful learning. In doing so\, we must be responsive to the children’s interests\, extend their learning\, and inspire curiosity to explore. Learn how to showcase these amazing displays and invite deep thinking and deep play to stimulate and build upon your children’s interests and sense of wonder. \nObjectives \n\nDefining Invitations and Provocations to Play\nFoundations to Invitations\nInspirations for Provocations\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.
