SUMMARY:Storytime Success: Building Relationships\, Community and Memories Through Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Storytime Success: Building Relationships\, Community and Memories Through Storytelling \nCreating memories while reading stories together is one of the most impactful experiences for young children. It sparks the imagination\, builds literacy skills\, and promotes a positive learning space. The biggest benefit for me… is the bond we create with children when we engage in storytelling. I still remember the stories that were read to me as a child. This is the foundation of helping children love to learn! Reading stories with young children is more than just sitting down in a circle\, picking a story\, and going through the pages. It should be about sparking the imagination! Using visual props to retell the story. Encouraging children to become an active role in the storytelling process. Children sharing their stories\, bringing in their favourite books from home or getting lost in a new story filled with wonder and awe…that’s what storytelling is about! Let’s explore the many different ways that we can enhance our storytelling practices together by sharing our stories and experiences. So\, bring your favourite book\, get ready to read\, and share as we dive into the wonderful world of storytelling! \nObjectives: \n\nExploring the various elements of storytelling\nImportance of storytelling in the early learning years\nCultural influences on storytelling\nApproaches to storytelling in childcare\nCreating Storytime Spaces\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPending Approval for PD funding 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:Building Stronger Teams Together: Effective Team Communication in Early Childhood Programs
DESCRIPTION:Building Stronger Teams Together: Effective Team Communication in Early Childhood Programs \nYour team is the heart of your early childhood program. Strong teams build each other up\, value each other’s strengths and collaborate to reach goals. We establish professional friendships and learn and grow together. Building a strong team\, though\, takes time\, intentionality and vision. Working with diverse perspectives\, experiences and knowledge can be seen as a challenge or a perk. How do you communicate with your colleagues and team members to ensure that everyone is sharing the same values and goals? Are we recognising the importance of diversity? Do we acknowledge and understand that everyone needs something different to be seen\, heard and valued? Let’s work together to discuss how to build a stronger team through our values\, communication and diversity. Knowing HOW to communicate with each other is a key skill to have as early childhood educators.  We are fabulous with children… but can we communicate effectively with adults? Join us as we explore how to adapt our communication style\, recognize our core values and build a positive workplace culture. Let’s play\, grow and learn together! \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDefine effective teams and the core values and practices of effective teams\nPinpoint obstacles and struggles to effective team communication and find solutions to these obstacles\nIdentify and reflect on team-building practices in a variety of contexts\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nApproved for PD funding 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:NEW! The Journey of Learning: Reflective Practices of an Early Childhood Professional
DESCRIPTION:The Journey of Learning: Reflective Practices of an Early Childhood Professional  \nOne of the most impactful strategies I have learned as an early childhood educator is how to reflect on my practices. This is not something I did much of in my early years as an educator. After all\, I was simply trying to survive and just at the beginning of my journey as an educator. However\, I wish I had done more of this essential practice when I started as it has immensely helped me grow as a professional early childhood educator. I wish I had a community of practice to share ideas and perspectives. So\, here we are to support you – wherever you are on your journey as an ECE. Reflective practices can be done in a variety of ways. From quick\, on-the-spot reflections to deeper and collaborative reflective practices\, there’s something out there for each and every one of us. Join us as we discover the pathways of learning through reflective practices and how we can diversify our approach and build our metacognition. We will explore reflective practices as an individual\, as a team and within a community of practices. Discover practical ways to increase this invaluable tool that we have at our fingertips and how to maximize our outcomes of reflection to apply to our practices. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify reflections as an integral part of professional practices\nIdentify strategies to support reflective practices\nGain knowledge about how to diversify reflective practices\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nApproved for PD funding 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.
