SUMMARY:Caring Connections!
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. Let’s learn some strategies of how to build this connection with ALL children – from the ones we struggle with to the ones who love us the moment they come through our doors.  Understanding what each child needs to feel a connection will help us establish that bond with each child and continue to see that relationship blossom. Connection is key! \nObjectives: \n\nDefine and identify high quality interactions and why caring connections are important in early childhood environments.\nOutline key benefits of establishing caring connections with each child.\nImplement strategies that support caring connections.\n\nNotes: \n\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 in the days prior to the workshop. Please click the link ten minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\nCertificates of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.

SUMMARY:Connecting Through Curriculum!
DESCRIPTION:Connecting Through Curriculum! Exploring Curriculum Inspired by Children \nAre you looking to learn more about the Alberta FLIGHT Framework? Whether you’ve gone through the training or not\, it can still be a little overwhelming switching to this approach to learning. FLIGHT not only introduces some new language to use (and to share with families)\, but also aims to change our mindset of how we view the image of the child and our own teaching practices. As co-learners in this journey of play with the children\, we are able to build our connections with the children\, their families and to our community. In this session\, we will discuss some core foundations of FLIGHT\, how to take comfort steps in implementation and how to extend your practices to provide a responsive and caring environment for young children. Whether you are just starting to spread your wings\, or you have already tried a few flights\, let’s expand our wings so we can fly further and discover new possibilities together! \nOverview \n\nFoundations to FLIGHT\nEducator Mindset\nChildren as Mighty Learners\nResponsive Environments\n\nNotes: \n\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 in the days prior to the workshop.
