SUMMARY:Caring Connections: Interactions that Matter
DESCRIPTION:The 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 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\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!

SUMMARY:Observing Play with Intent: Enriching your Emergent Curriculum Approach
DESCRIPTION:Ever take the time to sit back and simply observe children playing? The conversations they have\, even by themselves. The curiosity they show when they are exploring something new. The expressions of satisfaction when they are deep in thought in play and when they reach a personal goal. These observations of play tell us so much about the children’s perspective and learning journey\, that we need to write this down and capture it! There are so many discoveries and ‘ah-ha’ moments throughout the day that it’s sometimes difficult for us to figure out what to write down though. So let’s learn together as we discuss strategies of intentional observations and practice how to conduct intentional observations that assist us in enriching our environment by implementing the emergent curriculum approach. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify the roots to emergent curriculum approach\nReview tips and tricks for effective observations\nImplement strategies to improve observation techniques\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 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\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!

SUMMARY:Playful Planning: Enriching your Emergent Curriculum Approach
DESCRIPTION:Playful learning experiences promote a sense of curiosity\, exploration\, and confidence\, which are what we all strive to achieve when we plan for our early childhood environment and our children’s experiences. To achieve this\, one of the most popular and best approaches is the emergent curriculum approach. This approach let’s the child lead the playful experiences and follow their own learning path. Our job\, as early childhood educators\, is to observe their interests and plan to either compliment or extend on these interests. Being intentional on how we prepare a responsive environment  is a key element to emergent planning. How we plan activities\, play experiences\, provocations and invitations and  make changes to our environment all depends on the dynamics of our group of children and our ability to really listen\, observe and learn about the children’s deeper interests and abilities. Let us walk alongside the children and join them in their journeys of wonder\, play and curiosity. Join me as we discuss planning strategies that work for everyone. There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to planning for children’s play\, so let’s explore what your journey is with the children and how you can plan for play! \nObjectives: \n\nReview Emergent Planning Practices\nIdentify Planning Strategies based on the Balanced Approach to Emergent Planning\nTranslating Observations to Playful Planning\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 24 hours prior to the workshop.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Creative Hearts & Minds: Open-Ended Art Experiences for Young Children

So\, let’s provide an environment full of creative materials that allow children to enjoy the creative journey and show us their colorful world! \nObjectives: \n\nDefine creativity and art\nDifferences between crafts and open-ended art\nIdentify the main categories of art experiences\nCreative art activity ideas\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 24 hours prior to the workshop.
