SUMMARY:Redefining Circle Time
DESCRIPTION:Redefining Circle Time: Moving Beyond Adult Directed Groups Times with Young Children \nA time to connect. A time to feel a sense of belonging. A time to share stories. A time to learn about each other. This is what circle times in early childhood should be about. Gathering times and sharing circles are a part of many cultural and family traditions as family and friends come together to connect and share stories. Gone are the outdated practices of calendar time and singing weather songs as the focus of circle times in early childhood programs where educators instruct and direct children. Instead\, let’s make gathering time meaningful and relevant to the children in our care. In this session\, we will come together to discuss a variety of ways to change an adult-directed circle time to an opportunity to connect\, reflect and share. Gathering times can be a part of our daily routine or a spontaneous story time that children will remember forever. By being intentional in our group gathering practices and reflecting on our ‘why’\, we can create a gathering time that truly embraces the image of the child and helps children learn about themselves\, others\, and their community. Let’s build community together! \nObjectives: \n\nRedefining circle time as a child-led experience\nImportance of group gatherings\nUnderstanding and respecting cultural values of group gathering\nStrategies to improve meaningful and interactive group gathering\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\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: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!\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:No Waiting! Get Them Shaking! Learning Effective Transition Strategies
DESCRIPTION:No Waiting! Get Them Shaking! Learning Effective Transition Strategies \nI can see it like it was just yesterday…the children are climbing over each other as we help them put on their snow pants\, jackets and boots to get them ready to go outside. It’s a nightmare come true! Wait! This was yesterday! The reality sets in….transitions are HARD! There’s no doubt about it. Whether it’s the infamous ‘clean up’ time\, going outside or coming back in\, moving from lunch to nap time or helping those new children adjust to group care…it’s a stressful time for many of us. It doesn’t need to be. When we take the time to stop\, be present and be intentional\, we can minimize the stress of transitions not only for us but also for the children in our care. Children are not designed to sit and wait\, so we cannot expect them to do so! What can we do to keep children engaged during transitions? To help this be a time of connections instead of directions. To help them navigate their own transitions successfully and with confidence. Let’s get them moving! Let’s get them engaged! Let’s connect. Join me as we fill your transitional toolkit with strategies and activities that are sure to capture the attention and imagination of those little ones who struggle with transitions. We will look at our daily routine schedules to reflect on how they impact our transitional times. And of course\, we will sing\, play and dance with some NEW transitional ideas that you can add immediately to your practice. Let’s do this! \nObjectives: \n\nEstablish an understanding of why effective transitions are important to child development.\nIdentify strategies that support the 3 phases of effective transitions – before\, during and after.\nDevelop a daily visual routine for children to help them with transitions.\nLearn new transition songs\, games and tools to use during transitions.\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\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. Please click the link 10 minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.\nE-transfers to be sent to tina@inspiredmindsecc.ca\n\nZoom link is included in your ticket email.
