SUMMARY:The Third Teacher: Creating Responsive Environments to Support Children's Behaviours
DESCRIPTION:The Third Teacher: Creating Responsive Environments to Support Children’s Behaviours\nChildren experience big feelings and have big actions to communicate these feelings with the people around them. It’s important that early childhood educators create an environment that is safe\, physically\, mentally\, and emotionally\, for children to learn about these emotions and discover ways to express these emotions.  This is where the third teacher – our early learning environments- can help! By knowing what works for each child\, we can create spaces and routines that help them feel safe to explore and express these emotions without negative outcomes. We all understand that this is a learning process for children\, so why don’t we engage in proactive strategies that support them on their learning journey. In this workshop\, we will look at the four key components to creating responsive environments; routines\, transitions\, play spaces and engagement. Since one strategy doesn’t work for each child\, every time\, we will brainstorm a variety of strategies and approaches you can add to your behavioural support toolkit! Let’s look to our environments for help! \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify the important role environments have on children’s behaviors\nIdentify strategies to support four key components of responsive environments:\n\nRoutines\nTransitions\nPlay Spaces\nEngagement\n\n\nReflect on current practices and create action steps to move forward with creating responsive environments.\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. 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.

SUMMARY:NEW! Exploring Hygge!
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Hygge! Creating Spaces that Foster Happiness\, a Sense Belonging\, and Togetherness\nHygge. A Danish term that encompasses a way of living that promotes happiness\, joy\, coziness\, and a sense of belonging. Does this sound familiar? It’s similar to what we want children to feel and experience when they walk into our early childhood spaces. Exploring cultures to enhance our early learning environments is one way we can create responsive spaces that promote a sense of well-being\, a sense of belonging\, and a sense of togetherness. Let’s explore hygge together as we capture the warmth of materials\, lighting\, sounds\, and feelings. During my journey with hygge\, I have found seven main elements that we can bring into our early learning environments to create this cozy feeling for children: lighting\, softness\, warmth\, nature\, simplicity\, being present\, and a sense of belonging.  Hygge isn’t one specific thing\, but how it helps us feel and the memories it stirs or creates. Bring your fuzzy socks and a warm drink\, as we feel for ourselves\, how hygge can be woven into your early learning practices and environment. \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstanding Hygge in Child Care\nEmbracing Central Elements of Hygge\nExploring and Reflecting on Hygge Materials\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:Curiosity and Wonder of Heuristic Play and Treasure Baskets: Infant and Toddler Play Explorations
DESCRIPTION:Curiosity and Wonder of Heuristic Play and Treasure Baskets: Infant and Toddler Play Explorations \nInfants and Toddles explore the world around them with awe and wonder. They explore with a zest for curiosity and exploration. They deserve an environment that supports this natural process of learning. They deserve Play! Creating responsive environments for infants and toddlers is slightly different then how we would create a responsive environment for older children. We need to take into consideration their physical\, sensory and neurological needs. One of the most impactful way of supporting infants and toddlers in their play explorations is through heuristic play and treasure baskets! This approach creates hands-on\, self-directed play experiences for children to dive deep into their own learning process. Let’s discuss what heuristic play is and how we can create treasure baskets and sensory experiences that are meaningful and relevant for our young learners. Participants will develop an awareness of this approach to play and engage in reflective practices and discussions about how they can make children’s learning visible. Go beyond a basic infant toddler space and create a space of magic\, wonder and inspiration! \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify the Importance of Play for Infants and Toddlers\nHeuristic Play Approach\nCreating Treasure Baskets\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:Active Listening: Surviving Difficult Conversations with Positive Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Active Listening: Surviving Difficult Conversations with Positive Outcomes \nConflict. Disagreements. Tension. People. Adults. A common communication barrier for many early childhood educators is how to address conflict in the workplace\, between co-workers and with families. This is not an easy task and takes time\, intentionality and practice. Effective communication is key to developing a positive workplace culture and working with families. A major component to effective communication stems from your own ability to engage in active listening. To learn the skills of how to listen to learn\, instead of listening to respond. As early childhood educators face conflicts with other adults\, active listening skills become an essential part of building a safe space that fosters positive relationships between adults that care for young children. Join us as we discuss some of the most common conflicts early childhood educators have with other adults and how to overcome these obstacles with active listening skills. Adopt strategies that take your communication skills to the next level\, and set you on the pathway of success. Reaching positive outcomes in conflict may not always be easy but it is possible when we have the right tools. \nObjectives: \n\nReflect on current communication strategies and obstacles\nDiscover how active listening improves communication with families and workplace culture\nIdentify specific strategies to use during conflict to result in positive outcomes\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 Minds!  Caring for Children with Neurodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful Minds! Caring for Children with Neurodiversity \nOur brains all function slightly differently. Some of us are great with numbers\, while others are great artists or sports players. As our brains grow and develop\, we may notice that some brains are wired differently\, and different strengths and behaviors emerge. Children who are neurodivergent grow just like every other child\, just at their own pace and in their own way. Sometimes\, though\, it can be difficult for adults to learn how to engage and be responsive to a child who is neurodivergent. In this workshop\, I will share with you my own experiences as an individual with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and offer perspectives and approaches to consider when caring for our young children who march to their own beat. We will discuss three neurodiversity: ADHD\, Autism\, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)\, and how to be responsive to their needs and abilities. Forming the foundation of positive relationships at the heart of our connections with children. Let’s discover how we can embrace the beautiful minds of children who are neurodivergent. \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstanding Terms: Special Needs\, Neurodiversity and Neurodivergent\nExploring the brain science behind neurodiversity\nDevelop an understanding of the signs and symptoms of ADHD\, Autism and SPD and strategies on how to support children with neurodiversity.\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:In-Person Community Play Day! Know No No's! Supporting Children's Behaviours Using Positive Guidance Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Know No Nos! Supporting Children’s Behaviours Using Positive Guidance Strategies \nWe’re bringing back our in-person community workshops! Our second community professional learning day will be a full-day event! \nWhen: Saturday\, May 11\, 2024 \nTime: 9:00AM – 3:30PM \nInvestment: $135.00+GST \nHost Location: The Meadows Early Learning and Child Care Centre\, Edmonton\, AB \nTopic: Know No Nos! Supporting Children’s Behaviours Using Positive Guidance Strategies (3 session – 6 hours of training) \n\nFrom Crying to Smiling: Understanding Children’s Behaviours\nThe Third Teacher: Creating Responsive Environments to Support Children’s Behaviours\nThe Daily Struggle: Facilitating Conflict Resolution\n\nOverview \nEver wonder WHY some children react in ways we just don’t understand? The screaming\, biting and hitting came from no where! When a seemingly small situation throws them right into a major meltdown. Feeling like you’re at a standstill of what to do next? Well\, then this professional learning day is for you! Join us as we discuss the why’s behind children’s difficult and challenging behaviors and how we can support them during these difficult moments. Learn what happens in a child’s brain when the are dysregulated and take away some tools that can help you bring them to a responsive state of mind. It’s not easy sometimes…but YOU are the one who can make a difference. YOU can help them move from reacting to responding by making meaningful connections and adding some great activities and strategies that everyone can use! Let’s begin this journey with identifying some co-regulation strategies that work for the children in your care! \nNow that we understand these big feelings and have big actions that children are using to communicate these feelings with the people around them. It’s important that early childhood educators create an environment that is safe\, physically\, mentally\, and emotionally\, for children to learn about these emotions and discover ways to express these emotions. This is where the third teacher – our early learning environments- can help! By knowing what works for each child\, we can create spaces and routines that help them feel safe to explore and express these emotions without negative outcomes. We all understand that this is a learning process for children\, so why don’t we engage in proactive strategies that support them on their learning journey. Let’s collaborate and look at the four key components to creating responsive environments; routines\, transitions\, play spaces and engagement. Since one strategy doesn’t work for each child\, every time\, we will brainstorm a variety of strategies and approaches you can add to your behavioural support toolkit! Let’s look to our environments for help! \nFinally\, what do we do when children still engage in conflict…despite everything we’ve done to be proactive? Conflict is something that we all experience on a daily basis. We all have our own perceptions and experiences and opinions\, and with children…these opinions can get very vocal! It’s up to us\, the adults in their lives\, to facilitate how to resolve conflicts constructively so that our children can grow into success problem solvers and engage in healthy conflicts! It’s not an overnight process\, but with positive supports\, children will start to understand different perspectives and understand how to resolve conflicts in a healthy manner. Let’s bring our calm to their chaos and help children (and each other) on this journey of success and understanding! \nSome reflective discussions we will discuss: \n\nWhat are children trying to communicate through their behaviours?\nWhat are my biases\, assumptions and expectations on children’s behaviours? What is my image of the child when it comes to behaviours?\nHow does co-regulation support children’s ability to regulate their big feelings?\nWhat skills and tools are helpful?\nHow do we create a responsive and playful environment that minimizes the intensity and frequency of moments of dysregulation?\nHow can we successfully walk children through the process of conflict resolution so they feel confident and capable in their problem solving skills?\nHow can I change my mindset and professional practices to support children better?\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentifying Behaviour as Communication\nStrategies for Co-Regulations and Positive Supports\nIdentify strategies to support four key components of responsive environments: routines; transitions; play spaces; engagement\nDiscuss the learning behind conflict\nIdentifying steps & strategies to facilitate conflict resolution\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 48 hours in advance!\nCoffee\, tea and light snacks provided; lunch not included\nDoors open at 8:30AM\nMinimum registration required; Limited spaces available!\n48 hours notice will be given to registered participants in case we do not meet the required minimum registration\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nCertificate of participation\, workshop handouts and reflection forms will be available to attendees.\nE-transfers to be sent to tina@inspiredmindsecc.ca\n\n

SUMMARY:Caring Connections: Interactions that Matter
DESCRIPTION:Caring Connections: Interactions that Matter \nThe comfort of an encouraging smile. The caring reassurance after a fight with a friend. The excitement of co-celebration as they discovery a new skill. How we interact with children has a huge impact on children’s growth and development\, not only their social emotional development\, but also in their abilities to problem solve\, resolve conflict\, and take risk because they feel safe! Children rely on positive\, supportive and encouraging adults in their live to show them they are respected\, safe and loved. This type of interaction doesn’t happen just by supervising\, asking questions or giving direction. It comes from a deep connection between the adult and the child. A connection that takes time to build and takes intentional interactions.

SUMMARY:Shake\, Rattle and Roll! Creative Music and Movement Experiences for Young Children
DESCRIPTION:Shake\, Rattle\, and Roll! Creative Music and Movement Experiences for Young Children \nGrowing up\, music and dancing were an everyday part of my life. It just seemed to come naturally to this energetic little girl. I may not be the world’s best singer or dancer\, but when it comes to singing and dancing as a form of Play…this is my jam! I rock it out like a toddler grooving to their own tune. To this day\, I still rock it out like I did when I was 4 years old. For many of us\, singing and dancing evoke feelings of joy. An opportunity for self-expression. Cultures around the world use music and dancing as a way to communicate and connect. Children naturally embrace this style of play when they are surrounded by those who embrace it\, too! Music and movement comes in many forms\, styles\, rhythms and patterns. It can simulate feelings of joy and wonder as well as sadness and grief. By creating a responsive play environment that captures this outlet of music and movement\, we can help the children feel a sense of belonging\, an opportunity to learn about themselves\, their feelings and their experience. A chance for them to share with us their laughter\, sadness\, joy and worries. A language that shows us their thoughts\, ideas and experiences. Join me as we sing and dance our way through a session that embraces the play of music and movement. From transitional songs that help us during those difficult times\, to songs that light up the brain and fill our hearts. Music and movement is for everyone…just need to find your own beat! \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstand how music and movements stimulates whole brain development\nCreate a creative and responsive environment through music and movement\nEmbracing a playful approach to music and movement\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:Mighty Transitions: Discovering Transitions that Work
DESCRIPTION:Mighty Transitions: Discovering Transitions that Work \nOh\, those transitions! From here to there and back again. They could be a time of chaos or a time of calm – which one do we plan for?! That’s right! Transitions can be calm\, fun and effective if we intentionally plan for them! Planning goes a long way when it comes to helping children transition throughout the day through multiple types of transitions. And since not every strategy works with every child\, we need a whole pocket full of ideas (or a backpack full). During this session\, we will brainstorm\, practice\, and play some unique transition ideas that will be sure to add some magic to ease those troublesome transitions. Transitional strategies will include the most common transitional obstacles\, such as; going outside\, welcoming a new child\, clean up time and more! We actually have a magic wand for this workshop that works for every child in every play space! It’s seriously amazing! Wave that magic wand three times and you’ll get amazing results! So\, let’s get some ideas stashed away in our back pocket to pull out when we need them the most and let’s play during transitions! \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify key elements to mighty transitions\nHigh quality practices for transitions\nDiscovering responsive transitional activities\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.
