Creating a Culture of Family Engagement - Parent Communication and Collaboration
Whether you are supporting children in a childcare, educational, or therapeutic setting, early childhood researchers and policymakers agree that family engagement should be primary, rather than optional or minimal when it comes to supporting children in their development and learning. With this understanding and spotlight on the role that families play in children’s success, many organizations and institutions are trying to restructure how they consider family engagement and how to sustain those connections over time. In order for a culture of family engagement to be successful and meaningful, the goal must be to create a system that can grow and evolve, (much like children grow and develop) by proactively planning and incorporating culture and change, rather than always reacting when challenges arise. The two main areas that encourage this culture of family engagement are communication and collaboration. In this presentation, you will learn, explore, and apply hands-on strategies that can be implemented right away to create a meaningful and positive culture of family engagement.

Play It Forward. Understanding the Value of and Advocating for Play in Early Learning Environments
It is widely accepted in the Early Childhood Education field that children learn best through play, yet many programs struggle with defending this practice. Understanding current research, having skills for communicating its importance as well as the conviction to implement is key. Increasing pressure for academics to be introduced at younger and younger ages, has many educators feeling the tension to compromise best practices. This interactive workshop will help participants discover how to communicate the valuable processes and outcomes that happen when children are allowed the freedom to direct their own learning through play. Participants will be given opportunities to observe play (via videos and photos) and encouraged to identify learning and developmental implications that may emerge in this play. Participants will leave with new ideas and skills to communicate important outcomes of children’s play-based learning. Perhaps most importantly, participants will be challenged to move from defending their play-based program to promoting the value of play.

Successful Classroom Strategies for Children Experiencing Adversity Based on Trauma-Informed Care and Positive Child Guidance Practices
This presentation will focus on providing attendees with strategies for effectively working with children in the classroom that have experience trauma or may experience trauma in the future. The presentation will address the childhood adversity statistics/research, common childhood traumas and the current focus of working with children using positive child guidance and trauma-informed care practices which concentrates on building stronger social-emotional skills and healthier coping strategies. Presenter will demonstrate a “Toolbox” activity of common techniques that can be used in the classroom for children with exposure to adversity and provide strategies focusing on trauma-informed practices in the classroom (e.g., emotional temperature checks in and body scan). Additionally, the common mishaps that educators make when interacting with children who are struggling in the classroom will be addressed. The focus of the presentation will be successful strategies when working with children experiencing childhood adversity in the classroom based on trauma-informed care practices. Attendees will be implementing these strategies by participating in self-care activity. The goal is to provide attendees additional skills in working with children facing adversity in the classroom while incorporating trauma-informed care and practical applications. This will strengthen their relationships with families/students/clients/children and improve overall development for children.

When You Wonder, You’re Learning (Keynote Presentation)
Mister Rogers was more than a nice guy in a sweater—he was also a learning scientist who was decades ahead of his time. In “When You Wonder, You’re Learning,” authors Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski reveal Mister Rogers’ “blueprints” for nurturing the curiosity, creativity, and potential inherent in every child. With inspiring, actionable examples, we'll learn how educators, parents, and caring adults everywhere can follow in Fred Rogers' footsteps.

Bringing Back the Fire (Keynote Presentation)
The one thing that makes your work so powerful is something that can’t be taught: Passion. Have you been missing yours lately? You started down the path of early childhood education full of hope, excitement and energy. You were curious. Playful! And eager to create real change. Then… reality hit: It’s messier than you planned for. Lonelier than you ever could have expected. Throw in a global pandemic, massive social upheaval and a 24hr news cycle that exists to keep your adrenaline running on overdrive… Is it any wonder you’re so tired? Join Sally as we turn down the volume on other people’s opinions, and tap back into what you truly need right now.

Decoding Wellness: Reflecting On, Illuminating and Honoring the Child’s Perspective
The concept of “wellness” as being integral to successful education systems has gained increased focus. Research consistently indicates a recent drastic decline in wellness related measures for both adults and children. Yet, definitions of wellness are often elusive, with very little research existing to explore the child’s perspective on what contributes to overall wellbeing. Come reflect with us on your own definition of wellness. We will then shine a light on the lens of the child by examining videos and photographs of children’s work from around the world to honor the important perspectives they hold towards wellbeing. Finally, we will participate in several roundtable discussions aimed at honoring these perspectives by exploring concrete ways to incorporate the child's perspective both into our own lives as well as into educational systems.

Emotional Regulation: Teachers’ Emotional Honesty Used as a Model for Young Children
As early childhood educators, we spend a great deal of time helping co-regulate with the children in our care. At Old Firehouse School we use a series of attachment-based games and activities, called Careplay, to strengthen attachment relationships here at school. But what do we do, as the leaders in our classroom, when we are the ones who need help regulating our emotions? This workshop tells the honest accounts of what it’s like to have these big feelings and how to navigate through these emotions more effectively. Together we discuss finding ways to use these experiences to model emotional problem solving strategies for young children through attachment based activities and project work.

Rethinking Outdoor Play: Transforming Our School’s Yard Space to Foster More Creative Play and Scientific Exploration
Join us for a journey through the transformation of our infant/toddler and preschool age yard spaces! Our goals for transforming our outdoor spaces were to include more opportunities for nature based learning, creative expression, problem solving, and risk taking. We focused on the removal of two large climbing structures to make the spaces more flexible and able to meet the evolving needs of our children. In this session we’ll share strategies for making changes both big and small to your outdoor spaces and discuss the benefits of open-ended learning environments. We'll look to AnjiPlay, Reggio Emilia, and Nature Schools for inspiration and study first hand examples of evolving play from Hearts Leap School in Berkeley.

An Update on Open Educational Resources in English and Spanish for Early Childhood Education and Child Development Courses
This workshop is for ECE and Child Development faculty at any level of knowledge of and experience with open educational resources (OER). Join the presenter to learn about openly licensed resources in both English and Spanish that faculty and students can use and modify for free, including resources that have been finished in the past year. The presenter will begin with a clear overview of the rights the open licensing provides faculty for their personal use. Then faculty will be provided information about how to access and freely use OER in their own courses. They will also have the opportunity to join in a collaboration to sustain and build resources to provide open access to content and resources to support equitable, high-quality preparation of early childhood educators.

Creating Maker Spaces: Transforming Spaces to Empower Young Children’s Curiosity and Learning
Join us for a lively exploration of Making, Maker Spaces, and their role in early educational STEM friendly environments. Perhaps you’ve heard about these multi-use spaces in other educational areas but aren’t sure how they can be used with younger children? We will help explain the history and terminology of Making, outlining the importance it can have in empowering even the youngest children’s curiosity and learning from the Science area and beyond. Throughout the workshop, we will explain the importance of giving children access to Making as a form of transformative change that will lead to stronger classroom dynamics and help the children see themselves as empowered agents of change. During the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to explore hands-on ideas and work with one another to engage with the Thinking Routines from the Agency by Design’s Early Childhood in the Making project. Participants will leave with ideas and resources for creating their first Maker Space quickly, inexpensively, and creatively while also gaining the confidence to explain these important spaces to teachers, families, and especially children.

Need for Nature: The Importance of Nature and How to Support Children’s Outdoor Play
This workshop will focus on the importance of nature to young children's development and will provide suggestions for how to maximize children's time spent outside. Specifically, participants will learn why children don't spend enough time outside, why outdoor time is important to children's development, and how to maximize time spent outdoors with children (including through the provision of activities). The focus will be on very young children (age 0-3) and activity ideas will be paired with information about how to maximize children's growth in various developmental domains. Participants will examine their own feelings about nature, be provided with a color coded book (with activities and the developmental domains they meet), and engage in hands-on activities. This workshop is most suitable for early educators at the beginning and intermediate stages of their careers, but would be useful to anyone working with young children with an interest in nature and its benefits.

Encourage Social Connections Through Zoo-phonics
Social-emotional stability for children in our homes, schools, and communities is one of the many challenges educators and parents face today. The Zoo-phonics Mnemonic and Multisensory Language Arts Program puts special emphasis on the WHOLE CHILD, helping to establish important social connections within the classroom in a collaborative, fun, inclusive, and non-threatening way. When social-emotional connections are naturally included in the curriculum, the classroom becomes a positive environment, where every child belongs and experiences both academic and social success. Zoo-phonics encourages crucial social-emotional connections through "up-and-out-of-seats" activities and interactive, experiential learning rather than traditional parallel-play activities for toddlers and preschoolers; or, for older children, independent and isolated desk work. Zoo-phonics Kids are encouraged to play, move, collaborate, and share their thoughts, feelings, and observations in every activity, creating a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning.

Let’s Read! Best New Children’s Books on DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), SEL (Social-Emotional Learning), and More!
The relationship between an adult, a young child and a good book creates a safe space and a bond, and it fuels a passion for learning and literacy. This presentation for all learning levels will review some of the best new picture books of the year, incorporating read-aloud techniques and strategies. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) titles will receive special emphasis. Other subjects (stories, STEAM, Basic Concepts) will be covered as well. The benefits of reading are found both in the subject matter of the books themselves and in the relationship that develops between the adult and the children reading together. DEI and SEL books, in particular, can be used to start important classroom conversations, often easing the way for teachers to introduce topics that require awareness and sensitivity. These books can set expectations for kindness in peer conversations and play. The mere act of reading is powerful, too. It is a naturally comforting activity, in which the teacher’s tenderness creates a sense of belonging for young children. This presentation will show teachers how reading with children can and should leave the adult and child feeling transformed and wanting more.

Scrambled Eggs and Icebergs! Physical Activity that Promotes Self-Regulation
The most important life skill to teach children is self-regulation and the prime time for its development is between the ages of 3 to 5. Beginning and veteran teachers will discover how to integrate movement, mindfulness, and self-care activities that support the development of impulse control, focus, and well-being. Playing simple games, such as “Scrambled Eggs & Icebergs,” can help children learn the necessary skill to self-regulate while keeping it fun.

The Importance of Weapon Play and How to Discuss it
Children use many materials as weapons in their play. Many of us as educators feel the need to shut that play down. However, there are so many things children learn through this play. In this workshop, we will examine these. We will also examine our own biases, ideas of consent, and what weapon play means for communities impacted by violence.

Active Play for All! Including Young Children with Disabilities in Physical Activities with Their Typical Peers
Young children need physical activity to help prevent childhood obesity, promote brain development, and develop the habit of a physically active lifestyle. But how can physical activities be designed to enable young children with disabilities to participate with their peers? Consider modifications to meet the needs of children with a variety of physical, sensory, intellectual, or learning disabilities. Learn to create environments that help young children with disabilities develop their movement skills while playing with typical peers. Gather practical ideas for inclusive physical activities that are developmentally appropriate, age-appropriate, and use only inexpensive equipment. Lead these activities in both large and small spaces with children of varying ages and abilities. Best of all, these activities are FUN for children to play and you to lead!

Circle Time: Music, Movement and Fingerplays
As our society is moving towards use of computers, screen and technology even for our very young learners, it has become pertinent to revisit importance of circle time in early learning environment. Circle time is a means to build social interaction and kinesthetic learning, importance of these elements was visible during pandemic when even our young learners were forced to be on screen and deprived of in person interaction. We will learn different elements of an effective circle time. We will focus on how circle time can be designed and what are some of the benefits of circle time for young learners. How long should circle time last and what should be the targeted age group. Once we have gained basic clarity about circle time we will dive deeper into learning different songs, movement and fingerplays that can be incorporated in circle time. Audience at different stages of their learning experience will have something to take from this workshop.

From Me Too to Don’t Say Gay: How Gender Education in ECE Transcends Politics, Empowers Teachers and Improves Child Outcomes
Suggested audience: Advanced California ECE teacher preparation programs overwhelmingly lack a gender studies component, leading to a teaching population that is unprepared to address current and future gender issues in education. As the families we serve become more diverse, so must our understanding and sense of agency. Conservative states across the country are escalating legislative gag orders meant to silence educators on ideas relating to race, sex and gender. With over a dozen states considering legislation mirroring Florida’s HB 1557 (the so-called Don’t Say Gay law), it is imperative for California early childhood leaders and educators to embrace a deep understanding of gender equity to ensure that our youngest students feel safe to flourish in an open and accepting classroom community. This workshop will focus on the importance of elevating teacher competencies on gender equity. We will explore strategies for training current and future educators in their work with young children and ensuring programs provide gender affirming and welcoming environments for everyone.

Getting Smarter Through Music! Encouraging Brain Development, Equipping Teachers and Providing Growth Opportunities in Fun and Easy Music Formats
Our presentation is fun! Music establishes foundations for future learning in math, science, languages. It assists children as they explore their world and as they develop relationships with others. Focusing on mind development, with music as a vehicle to this end, we'll Include multicultural exposure and talk about the transition between cultures that so many children encounter. Our focus: equipping teachers to encourage the growth of the whole child, using musical content that promotes cognitive, social, and kinesthetic development. Audience - beginners to advanced. Eric Jensen in "Music with the Brain in Mind" writes, "...the musical arts allow us to communicate with others, while illuminating and recording human insights…It impacts academic achievement, perceptual-motor skills, and social skills…qualities we need most as we enter this new century." Participants will learn 8-12 wonderful songs for use in the classroom, highlighting sing along, dance along, play along, and activities including art projects. “Music helps young children synthesize experiences, transition into new activities, calm down during naptime, share cultural traditions, and build self-esteem and a sense of community. It can also improve academic performance in language and math. “ (Music for Their Minds, by Rebecca Shore and Janis Strasser, Young Children, March 2006, p.62)

Prevent Bullying Behavior and Create an Environment Honoring Diversity, Empathy and Inclusion
The significance of social and emotional learning, with special emphasis on self-identity in early childhood education, will be addressed, and how it impacts bullying and exclusive behaviors. When children have a solid foundation of knowing who they are, they are more confident in other aspects of their development. In school, they can accept the challenges and risks of learning something new, are more accepting of others, and are better able to socialize. By teaching the appropriate behaviors we wish to see in our children, we can create an environment where children are inclusive of everyone's differences, able to show kindness and compassion, and have empathy for others. This presentation will include content, visual information, and some interactive exercises. The content is based on the presenters applied research results in understanding the dynamics of self-esteem and how it directly impacts behavior. This is an inside out approach, where children automatically respond with positive behavior when they are guided from their own self-worth. Teachers will leave with practical, educational strategies to implement in their classrooms.

The Power of Creative Movement: Easy, Fun Activities that Build Strength, Focus, Confidence, Creativity, Rhythm, Communication and Community
Come move, sing, play, and gain confidence to explore moving creatively with your students. If movement activities make you concerned about losing control of your class, worry no more. We will begin with activities that have the children creating their own ‘personal/bubble space’ before they move into ’group space.’ We will warmup with the ‘Brain Dance’ which is a great focusing tool. As we continue exploring Creative Movement you’ll learn about the ‘Elements of Movement’ that give you the words to describe and expand the variety of movements your students will be doing. You’ll learn simple, engaging, and easy to lead activities that encourage children to joyfully explore ways they can express and articulate themselves through their own movements. We will use a variety of recorded music, songs, chants, and rhymes; some new, some old (with a new twist), and a couple in a different language. We will even use some storybooks that offer creative movement opportunities. All will get a handout with lyrics, details of the activities we covered in the session and suggestions for recorded music to use in class. Though we will be moving in class, know you should move as you are able. All Welcome.

Early Identification of Autism
Autism is a life-long developmental condition and children may show early signs during their toddler years, between 12 to 30 months. The prevalence of autism continues to increase, from 1 in 150 children in 2000 to 1 in 44 children in 2018. Research shows that early identification of autism prior to 30 months plays a critical role in improved long-term school outcomes, and early intervention is effective in reducing learning barriers imposed by autism presentations due to the malleability of the brain during this early period of development . In spite of such evidence, children are often not identified until long after their 3rd birthday . Moreover, there are persistent disparities in the ages of autism identification based on race and socioeconomic status (SES) among children in the United States . Early childhood educators can play a critical role in timely identification of autism by understanding the early signs and utilizing evidence-based screening tools (e.g., M-CHAT-R/F). This will consequently help children with autism to have improved school outcomes and to reach their full potential. This workshop will focus on identifying the early signs of autism, collaborating with colleagues, communicating with parents and understanding the diagnostic process in California.

It’s Not “Just” Play – Articulating the Importance of Play to Parents
As early childhood professionals, we know that play is how young children learn, and how it prepares them for primary school. But did you know that the impact of play can reach well into adulthood? In this workshop we will share a framework with which to articulate the value of what children learn through play. The presenters will discuss the value of play as well as what is learned through play. Everyone will come away from the workshop with their own personal statement on the importance of play, and a list of resources which can be shared with parents and other educators. This workshop is a hands-on, interactive session. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your own childhood play which will bring its importance to the forefront. Come and join the conversation with the presenters and other early educators as we fine tune our understanding and expression of the importance of play in an early childhood education setting.

Trauma-Informed Practices in Early Care: Working From the Root
This workshop will include current information about neuroscience and brain architecture during the early years of development as well connecting what we know already about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the impact it has cognitively, socially, and emotionally during the early years. Discussion about epigenetics, and how responsive relationships can actually halt, alter, and or reshape the way our genes are read, may support our teaching practices. Understanding these topics will inform early childhood educators developmentally appropriate practices while becoming intentional about how they engage with young children and ways to encourage children to meaningfully engage with their peers. Through practical guidance, early childhood educators can get to the “root” of children’s stress and trauma, buffering adversities and optimizing learning experiences. The ability to make these intentional connections with young children begins with intentional connections within ourselves, empowering educators to understand their own experiences during early childhood and how these experiences may impact the way they engage with their students. Practicing self -awareness and wellness can lead to changes throughout a lifetime. This workshop is full of hope, empowerment, and encouragement.

Books Have Never Neen Enough: Reading for Racial Justice
Young children notice and express curiosity about physical differences associated with race early in life. While racial attitudes appear malleable among young children, many children encounter ‘color-blind’ approaches, effectively silencing acknowledgement or discussions of race and racism, from their adult caregivers and educators. Increasingly, scholars and practitioners are recognizing the critical importance of anti-bias, anti-racist early education, and are highlighting children’s picture books as a tool that can aid caregivers and educators in having conversations about race, racism, and racial justice with children. In recent years, racial and ethnic diversity in children’s literature has been gradually increasing. However, as author Grace Lin notes, “Books...are just tools, and tools must be used to work.” This workshop, which is aimed at an audience of educators, will focus on connecting shared book reading activities to children’s lives, simultaneously promoting early literacy and language development and healthy, age-appropriate conversations about race and racial equity. By adopting a race-conscious approach to literacy activities, families and educators can help young children feel affirmed in their own identities, appreciate human difference, and strive toward fairness and justice for themselves and others.

Healing Emotional Challenges with Young Children
How do you feel today? What is causing you to feel this way? How can I help you overcome these emotions right now? How can I help you? Emotions are part of all of us, one of the few things we all have in common! Yet, for many of us we were not allow to express them in a healthy way. Emotions are needed to help children develop to their potential. How well do we listen to children's emotions? How well do we acknowledge our own emotions? We will discuss children's emotions using research child development theories, Attachment and Social learning theory. Examine how to better understand and facilitate children to vent their emotions. Create a meaningful dialogue with children to have healthy intentional conversations about emotions. In conclusion, all our feelings are okay!

Using Children’s Stories to Build Resilience
Children love stories so why not choose specific stories that help children build resiliency when faced with trauma. Let's talk about ways to connect with kids through the power of children's stories. We will spend hands on time with specific activities you can use with the story "The Invisible String," "When Sadness is at Your Door," and "Pink is for Boys." We will also spend time reviewing other popular children's titles and ways that you can use them as a trauma informed tool in the classroom, in therapy or at home.

A Deep Dive into the Policy of California’s Transitional Kindergarten Canceled
The three most discussed areas that are impacted by California's transitional kindergarten policy are the workforce, the TK classroom quality, and the ability to meet family needs. This presentation will take a deep dive into the history of ECE, California's early childhood history, and the policy implications of current TK policy. Data will be included from interviews from educators and families. Case studies will be presented as comparisons as California's policy is in its early stages of implementation.

Advocacy for Families, Children and ECE: Tools and Skills
When we hear the words “public policy” and “advocacy”, we are often intimidated because we think of having to speak in a public forum before elected officials. This session will address the many ways one can be an effective advocate and the
importance of those in the ECE field making our voices heard. We will share a variety of tools to reduce the fear factor and to demonstrate how we can become confident, successful advocates. ECE advocates are of critical importance not only
for ourselves, but also for families utilizing ECE services to support their children’s needs.
This session is recommended for all levels - it is important for beginners to hear and learn from more experienced advocates and it is relevant for the experienced advocate to remember their role as leaders in the ECE field supporting those with
less advocacy experience.
This workshop will encourage active interaction and collaboration among participants. “Hot topics” of interest to our field will be presented along with developing effective messages. A current and comprehensive Policy Tool Kit will be
shared.

Building Collaboration and Mutual Trust Among ECE Administrators and Staff
Early Care Educators of San Francisco has hosted focus groups for early childhood teachers, as well as site administrators and pedagogical leaders, with the purpose of bringing educators together as thought partners to engage in conversations around how their workplace supports them, their work, and their lives. This workshop will present data from focus groups, including what teachers have identified as helping them feel supported in their work, ways for administrators to engage in effective two-way communication with program staff, and ways to bridge relationship gaps in order to build mutual trust and support amongst early childhood staff. This work will be rooted in research on leadership, communication and developmentally appropriate practice for adult learners which uproots the historical patterns of hierarchy and a lack of collaboration, trust and respect. The suggested audience is for ECE staff, including teachers and administrators, who already have experience in the field (intermediate).

Centering Black Children, Families and the ECE Workforce: An Unapologetic Call To Action
Black Californians United for Early Care and Education (BlackECE) was founded in 2022 to end the exclusion of the lived experiences of Black Californians in ECE policy making and resource allocation. Our education system was founded on racial hierarchies and social constructs that underserve and underrepresent people of African descent. As a result of historically deficit-minded policies, the ECE system is steeped in anti-Black beliefs and practices, thus reproducing racialized harm, even in “new” policies and programs. In this session, participants will learn the influence anti-Black racism has on our current ECE system, and the lasting impact on Black children, families and the ECE Workforce. BlackECE has developed a policy framework and strategic plan to respond to deficit-based narratives that abound when talking about Black children and the adults who love and care for them, as well as ensure California’s ECE system is culturally affirming for Black children, families, and early childhood educators.

Every Photo Tells A Story: Documentation and Communication Through Photos
Documentation and communication contribute significantly to the success of ECE programs. As early childhood educators, we document what students learn and communicate with parents, co-workers and our students on a daily basis. In a modern world where more and more documentation and communication happens photographically, ECE professionals may also take great advantage of photos in our daily work. “Every photo tells a story.” We want our daily learning stories through photos to be meaningful, interesting and inspiring, as well as culturally and context sensitive to the viewers. In this workshop, we will share our practices of using photos in documenting students' learning and communication with parents. Some of the practices have been time-proven to be efficient and helpful to improve our program quality. We will also share some past mistakes and hope that others will learn from our mistakes. With the knowledge and insights gained from this workshop, the audiences will be able to better enjoy photo taking and sharing in and outside of their preschool classrooms. This is especially helpful for ECE professionals who are currently not used to taking photos as a way of documenting their days working with young children.

I Can’t Go On This Way: Assessing and Responding to Burnout in Early Childhood Settings
This workshop will support early childhood practitioners in their understanding of emotional labor, stress, and burnout for early childhood teachers. We will explore the research on this topic as a background, but then focus on ways leaders can identify and support teachers who are experiencing the signs of burnout. A simple assessment for burnout that can be used in early childhood settings will be shared, and we will discuss how this assessment might be used. Selected strategies for helping teachers cope with the signs of burnout, including mindfulness strategies, will be explained.

The Pandemic Through the Eyes of Educarers: The Call of Duty, the Journey, the Resilience!
The call of duty as defined by Educarers is vast and contains collective wisdom that must be shared as we navigate through the difficulty of teaching during the pandemic. A time of reflection is needed as we examine what was lost and share insights of resilience gained from the journey. As a professor and trainer of new and seasoned early educators I want to offer the opportunity to reflectively consider our individual and collective experiences and how we regain hope as we re-imagine and re-define why we teach.

Exploring Developmentally-Informed Environments and the Social-Emotional Connection
Participants will explore the importance of developmentally-informed environments and the correlation between social-emotional learning and positive behavior supports. Together we will examine how our own understanding of self promotes positive social-emotional learning and in turn helps to develop more effective educators in the classroom. This workshop will allow participants time for reflection and includes activities that will lead to deep and meaningful insight. Participants are invited to attend the continuation of this workshop entitled: Utilizing the Preschool Learning Foundations to create successful learning environments in Transitional Kindergarten classes.

PK3 ECE Specialist Instruction Credential: What Does It Mean for You
The approval of the PK3 Early Childhood Education Specialist Instruction Credential in California is a momentous development in the field of early childhood education. It will ensure that the people teaching young children, including the 11,000+ teachers who will teach the half million 4 year olds ultimately eligible for transitional kindergarten, will be well prepared to offer developmentally appropriate education. Leaders from the CA Commission on Teacher Credentialing, CA Department of Education, and higher education will 1) explain the PK3 Early Childhood Education Specialist Instruction Credential, 2) describe the opportunities the new credential creates for practitioners in the ECE field, and 3) discuss the implications for teacher educators and child development faculty in higher education. Participants will be grouped in small groups to learn more about issues related to the P-3 credential that are of most interest to them and to learn more about opportunities for themselves and their programs. Participants will have an opportunity to share ideas on the implementation of the new credential with presenters and each other. Suggested audience includes beginning, intermediate and advanced.

Social Emotional Development: The Neglected Domain
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has defined three developmental domains; physical, cognitive, and social-emotional. In both early childhood education and education in general, teaching emphasis is placed on cognitive and physical development. Often times children are expected to come to the classroom already versed in social emotional development. In this workshop we will explore the reasons social emotional development is neglected and the negative effects on students of not prioritizing this domain. We will break down the different areas within the domain and discuss how social and emotional needs are intertwined as well as where they diverge and how to meet the developmental needs of students in both areas. We will also provide concrete strategies for practitioners to implement in their classrooms that teach children using the social emotional domain and the positive outcomes these strategies will have on students' education.

Building a Class from the Ground Up: An Emergent Curriculum Approach to Early Education in TK and K
During the pandemic, Alex and Emily found themselves with the unique opportunity of opening up Hearts Leap Preschool’s first Early Kindergarten class, Sycamore Room. With licensing approval, they built a temporary class for the graduated preschool students of their essential worker families. This provided a clean slate and an entirely empty room for them to dream up how they wanted to implement bringing emergent curriculum into early elementary education. We will look closely at how they used the emergent curriculum model to guide and support their Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten-age students, focusing on developing their literacy and numeracy skills through child-led projects and in a play-based program. By observing the children’s interests and following their lead, Alex and Emily developed an exciting, engaging, and constantly evolving curriculum with deep explorations into the topics of big cats, squirrels, flowers, bugs, storytelling, current events, and more. In this workshop, we will take a deep dive into the Sycamore Room’s year to break down the many ways to approach learning through play.

Integrating The Brain and Body for Improved Academics
This presentation is for parents, administrators, preschool teachers and K-6 teachers. The biggest challenge that preschool teachers, daycare teachers and elementary teachers face today is children’s lack of focus. Preschools and daycare centers are the foundation of a child’s academic success! Improvement in academics can only be accomplished if the foundation for learning is in place. Students will only learn if they have the ability to learn. The more closely we consider the elaborate interplay of brain and body, the more clearly we see that movement is an integral part of all mental processing. Every movement is a sensory-motor event, linked to our understanding of our physical world, from which all learning derives. A child’s academic success improves with improved eye-tracking for reading, memory, and concentration. The ability to sit in a chair for extended periods improves when they have the ability to balance and the symmetric tonic neck reflex is no longer interfering. These are all necessary ingredients for academic success in school and can be achieved with this integrated perceptual motor program. The IPM program draws upon current research and is not like P.E. programs of the past.

Phonological Awareness, Letters and Sounds - Establishing the Foundations for Reading
The focus of the workshop is to support participants to learn about best practices that support the foundations for early reading, with a specific focus on what early childhood educators and primary teachers, parents, can do to support successful outcomes for acquiring skills in phonological awareness, phonics, letters-sounds, letter formations for children ages 3 - 8 years of age. The workshop will also be beneficial for learning support teachers, classroom teachers, and parents that want to support students that are struggling with the basic foundations of early literacy in grades 2 and beyond. Supporting research in the field will also be discussed. Participants at the beginning and intermediate levels will benefit most from the workshop.

Songs Are Stories, Too! Singing in Support of Literacy
Decoding and word recognition skills comprise only part of the tool kit needed for reading and literacy. Motivation is another, major part. Understanding the value and content of stories is another. Narrative is yet another. Vocabulary is yet another. Songs are a terrific tool for developing a sense of narrative, a rich vocabulary, and a love of stories. Songs tell stories; there are stories about songs; ballads and corridos tell about ourselves, our lives, our heroes, our history, our values. Some books are really songs. Confused? Interested? Find out about how songs and singing support literacy. Become a storyteller. Help children become storytellers. Learn some fabulous songs, and have loads of fun!

The Belief Behind the Children Behavior
"Positive Discipline is based on the Adlerian model of eliminating all punishment and rewards in favor of encouragement that addresses the basic needs of children to belong and feel significant. Our task is to help children find belonging and significance in socially useful ways". Adler and Dreikurs taught us that a misbehaving child is a discouraged child. One of the biggest challenges that educators face is dealing with difficult behaviors, aside from all the academic goals that we need to meet. We need to begin understanding that there is a belief behind the behavior and most of the times we try to modify the behavior without considering what is happening behind it and without considering how our responses (teacher style) can affect those behaviors. Understanding and dealing with both will let us be more effective with no need to use punishments and rewards. This workshop is appropriated for all audience

The Role of Leaders in Shifting Power Dynamics at All Levels of Early Childhood Education
It is imperative that children see themselves in their educators and learn from their own community perspective, and not only the dominant cultural perspective. This leadership day session focuses on creating a vision of true diversity at all levels of Early Childhood Education. How can we as leaders model the type of inclusiveness and compassion we want our children to learn? How can we recruit and train other leaders and educators who are diverse in their ways of thinking, cultures, backgrounds, and languages? How can we find and retain educators who reflect the skin colors, languages and cultures of the children they teach? Children’s Council of San Francisco has made it a point to be at the forefront of this goal and work. The organization’s BizNest suite of services support educators to advance in their careers and practice. As part of this work, the new Pipeline for Black Early Childhood Educator Career Development program is specifically geared toward mobilizing and training Black women in San Francisco to teach in a classroom, start their own child care businesses or continue their education. This apprenticeship pilot graduated 25 new Black early educators in year one.

Top-Down Approach to Anti-Bias Practice
Using the top-down approach (which positions teacher competency and confidence before classroom guidance), the presenters will invite educators to evaluate the strengths of their current knowledge and practice before creating strategies for improvement. Participants will recognize how examination of concepts such as intersectionality, societal discourse, and power structures reinforce their existing knowledge and strengthen their future practice. Participants will emerge with personalized anti-bias techniques they can immediately implement in their classrooms as well as tools for ongoing reflection and facilitation.

Change Starts With Me: Talking About Race and Racism with Young Children
By vicariously experiencing a kindergarten classroom’s transformation from silent to celebratory around the topics of race and racism, participants will learn concrete, applicable strategies for breaking silences in their own classrooms and learning environments. The "take home" message of this presentation is that the story of race and racism in our country belongs to all of us, and it is our responsibility as educators and child care providers to explore these topics with our students and the children in our care in a way that empowers all children to become positive changemakers. Opening up dialogue about race and racism in a thoughtful, developmentally appropriate, anti-bias manner allows children to develop the skills necessary to decrease bias in themselves as well as work against bias in others, and become a part of creating a more just and equitable world. This workshop is designed as an introduction to the work around breaking silences in a classroom and is best suited for a beginning level audience: for those who are seeking concrete, immediately applicable ways to enter into dialogue with young children about important, complex topics such as race and racism.

How to Foster Emergent Curriculum
As educators we are always trying to come up with activities that will be interesting and engaging for the children. Things that fit in their zone of proximal development but feel safe for them to step into something challenging. This workshop explores what emergent curriculum is and how you can design it from what the children are exploring. Our primary goal is to teach strategies to educators so they can notice what things children are wanting to explore and ways to develop provocations around that to keep them engaged and help develop in a variety of domains. We will go over what we as a school do to create meaningful project work that is engaging for an extended period of time, being driven by the children’s interest.

How to Have Difficult Conversations with Families: What to Do Before, During and After
In this workshop, we will look closely at how we communicate with the families of children in our care. We will explore the benefits of building relationships with families as a way to establish trust — the backbone of an educator’s ability to have conversations (both difficult and not) throughout the school year. We will also examine and review concrete examples of how to communicate with families, effective language to use, and how to set up and have informative and caring meetings to discuss children and their development, behaviors, and challenges. Participants will review real examples of communications before, during, and after meetings with families on challenging topics.

Let’s Do This Together! Creating a Strong Foundation for Inclusion in Early Childhood Settings
Anti-bias practices are grounded in a commitment to creating learning communities that embrace all dimensions of human diversity, including disability (Derman-Sparks et al., 2020). While policy and research strongly support inclusive models of early childhood education, almost a quarter of the 800,000 preschool-aged children with disabilities are educated separately from their nondisabled peers, and many more have limited access to inclusive settings (U.S. Dept Ed, 2021).There is tremendous opportunity for conversations to extend anti-bias practices with the inclusion of children with disabilities. This workshop will focus on creating a strong foundation for inclusion in early childhood settings within the context of anti-bias practices. We will begin by providing a brief summary of the legislation, policies, and research that supports inclusion. The majority of the session will be spent on creating a strong foundation for inclusion in early education programs within program teams. Using examples and facilitated discussion, the session will include: * Recognizing the various knowledge and skills each team member contributes to supporting early childhood inclusion. * Establishing shared beliefs about disability and inclusion within program teams. * Identifying needed supports and structures that enable meaningful inclusion to take place in a program (e.g., budget, leadership, collaborative planning).

Who Am I? Who Are You? Who Are We, Together? Building Identity and Community in Infant and Toddler Classrooms
Some of the most important learning humans do happens in the first year of life as babies develop a sense of themselves as individuals and who they are in relation to others. Infant/toddler classrooms are uniquely positioned to foster positive identity development as infants spend their days learning about the world and themselves in the context of a community of peers. Using the lenses of Reggio Emilia and Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE), this workshop will look closely at how professionals can intentionally support this early social-emotional learning and positive identity formation in group care settings. Through caregiving practices, environmental design, songs & activities and child-facing documentation, infant classrooms can be places that children come to know themselves as capable and important and feel a warm sense of belonging in a community. This outcome has significant implications for creating a new generation of confident self-directed learners and respectful empathetic community members, and in turn, a more just world! In this workshop you will see examples from infant/toddler classrooms, reflect on your own practices and environments with fellow participants, and leave with concrete strategies to build positive identity and a sense of community with the infants and toddlers you serve!

Building Resilient and Responsive Educators Through Adult SEL Skills Workshop
Research shows the power of belonging in schools, and this work takes a tremendous amount of resilience. The sense of safety and belonging that children have in a learning environment may be directly related to how they perceive bias and stereotypes about aspects of their identities from others, including adults. Research shows that when we experience stress, it impacts our responsible decision-making ability, and we are more likely to act on our biases. Educators have had to endure increasing amounts of stress in the last two years, and they’ve had to tap into resilience in new ways. In this workshop, participants will learn about Anti-Bias Education as a tool to continue building self-awareness and self-management skills. Participants will engage in self-reflection and explore adult SEL skills needed to be responsive to children’s needs through an Anti-Bias mindset.

Designing Your Outdoor Classroom
Learning outside with kids can be a challenge but it is even harder when you do not have defined spaces, or it isn’t easy to see how you can have centers outside. But I am going to change that. In this session we will go into details about what makes an outdoor space inviting for children, how you can cultivate designated learning spaces no matter the size, and how you can reuse things you might already have in a way that enhancing a child’s learning outdoors. This session will include some time to plan your dream space, converse with others on how they use their space, and hopefully allow you to leave and be ready to implement some changes to create your outdoor classroom.

From Provocation to Project: Leading with Methods to Build Project Based Learning in Early Childhood
As a leader who inspires early childhood educators to build inquiry journeys in the classroom, I have crafted methods, built collaborative systems and utilized theory-based strategies that result in impactful learning and discovery for the entire classroom community. My leadership approach for training and partnering with educators pulls from Reggio principles, state local practitioners, theories of DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging) and psychologist who specialize in young children. Theories and practices shared will be from the works of Loris Malaguzzi, Urie Bronfenbrenner, Paulo Freire, the books “Documentation and Inquiry in the Early Childhood Classroom: Research Stories from Centers and Schools” by Linda Kroll and Daniel Meier and “Young Investigators: The Project Approach in the Early Years” by Judy Harris Helm and Lilian G. Katz. Appreciable strategies shared will focus on observation and reflection to collaboration and discussion with teaching teams, children and families sharing structured documents and resources for educators. My workshop will balance theory, evidence-based practices and practical approach systems that will give tangible tools to leaders who mentor educators on project-based curriculum. This workshop is tailored for leaders in the role of curriculum specialists, assistant directors, lead and mentor teachers however teachers of all levels are welcome!

Power of Authentic Relationships: How Creating an Atmosphere of Joy, Connection and Friendship Can Help Encourage, Engage and Grow Teachers
As a stand alone session, or as a follow up to last year’s “Leading From the Heart,” this workshop will focus on the importance, and the challenges, of building and maintaining strong professional relationships with teachers. We will discuss how to find balance between maintaining high expectations of our teachers while also building relationships that encourage joy, connection, and friendship. We will explore how relationships evolve over time as friendships solidify and as teachers grow into leaders, and how directors can support this growth through reflection and encouragement. Together we will look at what makes our relationships authentic, rooted in trust, and able to grow. We will review examples from Hearts Leap and ICRI programs and engage in collaborative reflection of your classrooms!

Refining Our Image of the (Very Young) Child
The toddler room: full of “terrible twos” or “sweet babies”? Neither? The way we think of children can empower or hinder them, and toddlers can be the most maligned age group! In this session, we’ll talk about how our prior experiences inform the way we view children in our mind, and how to put on a lens of competence and compassion for our smallest protagonists. Get ready to change the way you see your one- and two-year-olds, for a more peaceful classroom and joyful days together.

Strengthening Family Supports Through Economic Mobility Coaching
Low-income parents face a variety of challenges that compromise their health, safety, and financial security. These experiences can make it difficult for parents to provide stimulating, sensitive, and responsive environments for children. EMPath and partner agencies like The Center for Human Services, utilize Mobility Mentoring® to support families holistically. Through this intentional coaching process, parents set goals, build their executive functioning skills, and meaningfully engage with their children. The Center for Human Services is a member of the Economic Mobility Exchange who has adapted Mobility Mentoring® to best fit the populations they serve in California. They are currently implementing a Mobility Mentoring® informed approach in several of their two-generational programs. During this session EMPath will introduce Mobility Mentoring® and the “coaching mindset”, along with strategies and resources for the audience. The Center for Human Services will then share their experience implementing the model and offer recommendations for other agencies interested in economic mobility coaching.
Research suggests that parents’ improved economic security is associated with improvements in children’s home environments (Dearing & Taylor, 2007), greater parental engagement in their children’s schooling (Crosnoe & Kalil 2010), and stronger parenting practices (Kalil et al. 2012), which, may lead to improvements in child outcomes.

What Makes a Community: Exploring Connection Through Construction
After spending months in relative isolation due to COVID, how do young children view the concept of community? Starting with the simple question of “What is the difference between a house and a home?” The 4-year olds in the Opal class embarked on a year-long project to create their own miniature model community. With the belief that people make a community, the Opals worked together to design and build a space that is safe, inclusive, and full of love. Over the course of ten months, the Opal children drew blueprints, interviewed a city planner, and studied the details about the actual community in which they live. In this presentation, educators will share a slideshow documenting a yearlong project based around the concept of community. The Opal teaching team, whose teaching experience ranges from just a couple years to over 20, will share strategies and examples for how to support child-driven learning through asking deep questions, co-constructing knowledge, collaborative problem solving, and community partnerships. By showcasing the children's work and their competencies, participants will see an approach to emergent curriculum and how the educators supported a meaningful project that lasted an entire year.

Mindfulness Activities for the Early Childhood Classroom: Calming Yourself and Your Students to Improve Your School Day
Take a break from your busy conference experience to breathe, laugh, move and experience ways to bring mindfulness into your early childhood classroom and life. Try out a rocket ship breath, listen to all the sounds around you, relax yourself one body part at a time or enjoy a foot massage with your students. We will discuss and try out a wide variety of mindfulness experiences together and create a path for working them into your school day to help you and your students have a calmer, more relaxed day together. Whether you use the activities during rest time, circle time, transitions or your morning meeting, you will see a huge difference in you and your student’s school experience. Participants will also learn techniques to support their own personal well being, allowing them to support their own health and happiness in and out of the classroom.

Leadership from the Inside Out: Navigating Identities to Lead with Authenticity
Early childhood education is a field full of diversity. Cultural competency, the ability to adapt to working and being with people from other cultures than your own, is a necessity in this field. This is true in our work with the children, their families, our colleagues, and administrators. Cultural competency starts with the individual, however. It is not enough to look outward for ways to understand others; we must turn our attention inward first. This workshop invites its participants to reflect on their challenges as it pertains to cultural differences and working in multicultural spaces in California. We will discuss ways to examine ourselves individually in regards to culture and other identity markers. We will then turn our gaze outward and examine how the awareness of self can create a more equitable environment. Finally, we will discuss what mindsets can maintain a space for growth for everyone.

Persona Dolls as an Anti-Bias Education and Social-Emotional Teaching Tool
Research tells us that explicit conversations about identity, differences, and bias are a critical factor in reducing children's bias levels and school success. The successful use of the persona dolls in early learning classrooms helps educators put Anti-Bias Education into practice. Using persona dolls as an Anti-Bias Education tool invites children to practice important social-emotional skills while building empathy skills, nurturing healthy identities, and fostering respect across differences. They can be used to encourage developmentally-appropriate conversations about a variety of identities and lived experiences, including race, gender, socio-economic status, religion/faith, and diverse family structures because the dolls are introduced as a peer visiting the classroom. Come and learn how to use persona dolls to support emotional skill development, early literacy, and connection in the classroom.

Save the Gingerbread Man: Supporting Creative Thinking Skills and Creative Confidence in Young Children
In a world which is increasingly technology-driven, with information just a click away, 21st Century learners must be able to make new connections with existing information to create new and valued solutions…they must be able to think creatively! Recognizing creativity as more than personal artistic expression, we can begin to foster a life skill needed for happiness, growth, and leadership. In “Save the Gingerbread Man” we will explore ways to successfully support children’s creative thinking skills as they engage in the open-ended process of designing solutions. In the design process children are learning to empathize with others’ needs, clarify problems, work collaboratively, appreciate constraints, weigh alternatives, and communicate their ideas verbally, graphically, and in three dimensions. We will look at processes, materials, and classroom environments that best support creative thinking skills. During the workshop, participants will be taken through a hands-on creativity challenge which provides the cognitive and emotional experiences children have designing solutions and thinking creatively. The creativity challenge will utilize the open-ended creative process of Design Thinking to create unique three dimensional prototypes to address the challenge. Save the Gingerbread Man is designed to be fun, interactive, and experiential for all audience levels from teachers to policy makers.

Anxiety, Trauma and Emotional Dysregulation: Children in Distress
In order to most effectively support in children crisis, it is imperative to have a basic understanding of how stress, anxiety, trauma, and children’s own unique methods of emotional regulation impact their behavior. This in-depth workshop provides introductory education on the neuroscience behind the human stress response, coping behaviors, and methods for increasing emotional resiliency while supporting and guiding the development of healthy emotional regulation skills in children of all ages. We will explore the basic physiology of the autonomic nervous system, identification of life stressors with significant impact on development, the manner in which this stress effects behavior and learning outcomes, as well as diagnostic criteria for anxiety based disorders and trauma. Participants will be guided through the process of recognizing signs and symptoms of problematic distress, connecting the human stress response to challenging behaviors displayed by children, and will come to understand how traditional methods of responding to such distress often exasperate the problem. Tools for appropriately responding to and emotionally supporting children in distress, as well as increasing the development of self-awareness and emotional resiliency, will also be provided. This presentation is appropriate for beginning, intermediate, and advanced audiences.

Celebrating Collaboration: How a Community College-Adult School Partnership Provides ECE and English Language Learning Opportunities for Parents and In-Service Teachers
Across the nation, preschools face a shortage of qualified teachers to educate our youngsters, according to the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment. In California, new initiatives compel community colleges and adult schools to collaborate to reach adult learners and provide them with Career Technical Education and English to help them to complete courses, certificates, and ultimately degrees. Our local college has partnered with its neighboring adult school to form a bridge between the two schools. This program offers college courses in Child Development and ESL for Child Development at the adult school. The presenters will briefly outline the initiatives that led to this collaboration, specifically, California’s Adult Education Block Grant and the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The presenters, who are the instructors from each discipline, will also describe the program set up and the inter-school and interdisciplinary collaboration. Participants will explore how this program supports students and combines content. Presenters will demonstrate selected learning activities, show success data, and lead discussion on how participants might develop such a program in their community. This session is appropriate for administrators and/or educators working with adult learners of English who desire to care for children of any age.

Creating Classroom Culture Through Your Children’s Stories and Books
How can we choose and effectively use children’s books in a way that allows our children’s voices and unique experiences to be honored and weaved into our classroom culture? What can we do to set up an environment so the children are comfortable to share their stories with each other and with their surrounding communities? How can we use books in a relevant modern way to engage children in conversations and critical thinking at any age? In this workshop, we will delve into the multi-faceted ways books and storytelling have been used to work through children’s experiences that may feel complex and overwhelming for teachers to approach. We will practice ways to use props and other tools to expand on the use of books in a variety of ways. We will give tips on organizing usable libraries and choosing quality books. Come join us in this interactive unique experience!

Implementation of Positive Behavior Supports Through Training and Quality Assurance Practices in an Urban Head Start Program
Suggested audience--all Positive Behavior Supports (PBS) and specifically Multi-element Behavior Support (MEBS) has a growing evidence base for supporting individuals who use behavior to meet their needs. Despite this, there remains a normalization of punishment-based interventions, particularly in educational settings for young children. This persistence in punishment use is related not only to lack of educator training, but also to lack of supports available to ensure educators are able to implement what they have learned in training over the long-term. A supports package was provided to a general-education preschool program, specifically a Head Start program, in an urban public school district. Teachers trained in and implemented the Multi-element Behavior Support (MEBS) framework, a child-centered, dignity-driven and relationship-based model for positive behavior supports which can be applied in a class-wide model or an individual child model, as needed. With rigorous, competency-based training coupled with in-class consultation and standardized checklist-style quality assurance measures, teachers were able to significantly improve implementation over time. Through collaborative relationships with school district specialist staff, ownership of processes was shared with district personnel, enhancing the effectiveness of interventions and supports. This process shows how to provide PBS training/consultation that reaches past awareness and leads to long-term change.

Inclusion: Coming Together
How do we do it? How do we get there? What does it look like? When inclusion is done well, it is practically invisible and that is the way it is supposed to be. During this session, we will discuss how educational achievements for students with and without disabilities require administrative support as well as solid lesson planning that expects, accepts, and embraces differences. We will learn how special education and general education teachers can share student and inclusion needs, how to accomplish effective co-teaching partnerships, and how to apply strategies and interventions in the general education classroom. We will explore how we can replace our anxieties and apprehensions with tangible mindsets and responsive inclusive interventions that promote positive attitudes and authenticity for everyone.

New to Twos? Understanding and Responding to the Unique Needs of Older Toddlers in a Group Care Setting
As the early childhood field adapts to new Universal Pre-Kindergarten implementation across the state, many programs are enrolling two year-olds to their programs for the first time. Navigating the uncharted territory of older toddler behavior can be intimidating and overwhelming for staff who are new to the age group. This session will provide teachers with the knowledge and tools to welcome two year-olds to their programs with confidence. Join us to explore the importance of relationships in understanding and supporting behavior; become familiar with possible causes of behavior; and identify developmentally appropriate and responsive strategies to address the behavior of older toddlers in the group care setting.

When Children Move a House, They Could Do Endless Possibilities: Empowering Children Through the Lens of a Democratic Education
When Hearts Leap Preschool moved to transforming their playground to a more open-ended environment, Carlos led an ambitious and at the time what felt like an unrealistic construction project where the students needed to help move a child-size log house to a new location in the yard. Moving a house brought a lot of excitement between his students, as well as in the whole community. Suddenly this project allowed students and teachers to become colearners as they navigated the emotional and physical barriers they came across and soaked up those feelings of ownership, identity and empowerment. On one side, the students became much more capable of doing things, taking risks while they used real tools, and feeling equally empowered to their own learning process. On the other side, the teachers closely observed and supported how the students saw themselves and worked through their personal developments, helping expand their social emotional growth through the process. In this workshop, we will closely look at how several construction projects have led to empowering children, teachers and the whole community, learning how to perceive ourselves as equal learners and guides, and how we can implement this philosophy into our own teaching practices.

Creating a Diverse and Inclusive Early Childhood Environment
This presentation is for early educators no matter the demographic makeup of the school to dive into diversity in its many forms. It is about beginning a conversation that will help educators to examine their own bias and encourage them to continue to do the work after the session has been concluded. We as educators can not deliver an equitable and inclusive curriculum if we do not ask ourselves the hard questions and are willing to do the hard work. It is also looking into the materials that are used in the classroom and exploring how to create a diverse and inclusive environment that is intentional.

Essentials of Writing for Little Hands: Nurturing Writers in Early Childhood Classrooms
Through this training participants will gain an advanced understanding of the writing process with children in the early childhood monolingual, bilingual and dual language classroom. We will investigate developmentally appropriate stages of motor development for young learners. Participants will discover how to encourage writing through modeled, shared, and independent experiences. Participants will explore strategies and materials that intentionally nurture, while extending writing throughout their daily routine. Participants will be asked to reflect on their current practice and collaborate with others. This session would be appropriate for intermediate to advanced participants and stakeholders that work with toddler to transitional kindergarten aged students.

Exploring Language, Art and Science Through the Eyes of Eric Carle - a Reggio-Inspired Hands-On Workshop from Peregrine School
Join us in a Reggio-inspired art exploration with collage which can work for toddlers through kindergarteners. Then write your own story and make a “very hungry caterpillar" and see how you can study the science of the butterfly life cycle. This lesson is one of many that use the inspiration of Eric Carle’s nature books as a platform for story making, art explorations, and science inquiry with preschoolers. This workshop is hands on! Teachers will walk away with models they can use for a classroom lesson, while also learning an approach to art and science which is being used at Peregrine School. This approach is called SOAR, and features integrated studies in Science, Outdoor Education, Arts, and Responsibility which build multiple intelligences in preschool students. Language arts, in English and Spanish, are also developed through these literature-based lessons, in which children compose their own stories in response to their art work. We will introduce many of Eric Carle’s books, as well as his collage techniques, all of which can create extended inquiry with preschoolers. We will also introduce our founder’s book, Growing Whole Children in the Garden, by Lorie Hammond, which contains over 100 inquiry activities.

Helping Young Children and Educators Navigate Difficult Topics and Relate to a World Outside of Themselves
This presentation applies a visual model to introduce the concept of children being an interracial part of many communities simultaneously. To start, each child creates an image of themselves. This in itself serves as a time to learn about how we perceive ourselves and to guid us as educators to see how each of our students view themselves. We then bring in topics they, the children, feel strongly about. An issue they see in the world that makes them sad, a problem that they wish to solve, or something happy/helpful that they wish they could spread and see more of. Next we have the children place themselves on the board to walk them through the concepts stoping at each “level” or “circle” and asking how it would effect each space/place. At the center of our board “Themselves". Outward from there; home, school, city, state, and lastly our planet earth. This model gives the ability to show children how to “walk forward” an idea; showing them how self or home issues can impact a larger space like our community or our planet. Then how to “walk back” an idea; taking big topics that seem far away and showing how they impact us at the closet level, ourselves and our home.

Prenatal for Dads: Research and Practice
Men think, learn and parent differently. Their engagement and unique contributions are vital to mother and baby. Their transition in parenthood is wrenching, too – and most prenatal education does little or nothing to help them understand and prepare for their new roles. In this lively interactive session, we will present an overview of relevant research, share findings from Early Engagement’s Strong Start™ Before Birth for Dads program, and lead a lively discussion of best practices and your good ideas for how EC professionals can help birth partners engage with their new families, right from the start.

School Readiness - It’s Not Just About Students, It's About Parents Too!
Most early childhood education professionals understand the importance of supporting our children in being ready for school. Equally important is our role in helping our parents be ready to enter the often confusing education system as well, as partners in their child's education. This workshop will provide a general overview of the Parent Education Framework and Pathways in use by the Lamont Elementary School District (LESD) to support all families and children in being successful. Using a multi-tiered support system, LESD has created pathways to support every parent in being a partner in their child's education and works to support parents in understanding, and being able to fully access, the opportunities presented to them to in their child's elementary school. Many of these pathways are present in all of our early childhood education programs, and we hope to be able to help other programs adapt or create a framework for parent articulation in order to help clarify and understand how we are all supporting parents in being ready to fully engage in their child's education, AND the education system itself.

Teaching Toddlers Good Food Habits
Meal times can enjoyable for everyone. Food is a very important aspect in a child's daily routine and it’s important to make sure it’s balanced with healthy growing food. Meal time can be a messy and stressful time if not prepared. We have developed skills and ideas on how to introduce new foods, seasonal foods and build your lesson plan to include food and self help skills with toddlers and preschoolers. We also will be sharing what resources we have found and used to succeed.

Creating Memorable Storytime Experiences: Using Felt Pieces and Puppets to Enhance Literacy Through Math, Science and Social Emotional Content
This fun, interactive workshop is great for beginner and veteran storytellers alike. We will explore a wide variety of literature along with the use of felt pieces, puppets, props and other techniques that help engage learners, foster human connections and build literacy skills through multiple disciplines. We will cover as many puppet and prop handling approaches as possible. Examples include: handling puppets, finger plays with puppets, using a puppet with a book, handling felt-board pieces with finger puppets plus book, and how to help the children do it! Examples of content include Two Little Blackbirds/Blackbird Opposites (English & Spanish), Great Big Cat & Teeny Little Mouse (English & Spanish), Make A Rainbow, and Mouse Paint. All story examples include expansion activities, open ended questions, audience involvement methods, and story time management techniques. We will review Preschool Learning Foundations throughout the presentation and provide 20 pages of application material. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in this class. They will have the opportunity to try many story telling techniques and simple rhymes (some Spanish) that all educators should have in their tool box. This workshop is uniquely inspiring and, of course, keeps best practices at the core of it all.

EPIC Teaching - Integrating Expertise with Passion, Identity and Commitment
In this unique and interactive workshop, participants will learn the "3D" model of teaching, which integrates the participants' expertise and passion with their core identity to create pathways to more confident, effective, and energized teaching. Recognizing that teachers bring their own level of expertise to their programs, we'll explore ways to amplify effectiveness and reach a new plateau in their understanding and passion for the field of Early Childhood Education. While aimed at a general audience, members that identify at an intermediate-or-above level will gain valuable insights to move the needle in their teaching practice. School-age-level participants are encouraged to attend.

Five Essential Strategies to Effectively Teach Letters and Sounds
Emerging readers must learn letters, letter sounds and how to manipulate letter sounds in practical, authentic ways. During this workshop designed for PK-1st grade educators, participants will explore five strategies to effectively integrate learning letters and letter sounds in fun and engaging ways throughout the day in school and at home. This workshop aims to help teachers and families more effectively support their emerging readers by helping them understand WHAT alphabet knowledge and phonological awareness are and WHY they are both so critically important. We will share practical strategies that help their students learn letter names and their sounds seamlessly and purposefully throughout the day. Our goal is to ensure that students understand how letters make words and words make sentences and that sentences convey meaning. At the end of this workshop...

Leadership in Times of Stress: Keeping Staff Motivated and Inspired
While there has always been a revolving door of teachers in the field of ECE, the pandemic hit us all especially hard. As leaders in our schools, we have to be compassionate, flexible, and creative when it comes to keeping teachers. This workshop will focus on ways to bring joy to your teachers through meaningful staff development and daily ways to connect. Just as children learn better when they are happily engaged in pleasurable activities, so do adults. In this workshop we will delve into what makes play playful, and link those characteristics directly to strategies you can use to plan games and activities that enliven your schools and teach important policies without distracting from or dumbing-down the content you need your teachers to learn. We will share tried-and-true examples, as well as spend time in small groups devising original games and playful challenges to use in a variety of training situations -- from lectures, to workshops, to informal mentoring. This is sure to be a lively and practical workshop.

Leaning In and Doing the Hard Work: The Work of Anti-Bias Leaders
What does it mean to be an Anti-Bias leader? How can leaders create an organizational culture that centers Anti-Bias Education to foster healthy identity development, respect across differences, and the naming and rejecting of biases for children and adults? This workshop will unpack key issues and insights to consider as leaders develop and foster an Anti-Bias mindset for themselves and their staff, including climate and culture, resources, family communication and support, and teacher readiness. We will introduce the tenets of Anti-Bias Education and the AmazeWorks Conditions for Belonging framework as a model for change. We will hone in on what it means for school leaders to create identity safety and notice, name, and reject bias as it shows up in the school community at all levels. We will also discuss and explore the resilience skills that leaders must develop for themselves so that they can stay the course when there is pushback.

Singing with Children is Way More Than Just Fun – Why it Matters!
Singing together is one of the most wonderful, fun and important things people can do. It can comfort us, empower, exalt, support, and embolden us. It has the power to move us to action, and the gentleness to rock us to sleep. It supports children's development socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically. It makes our lives, and the world, better. In fact, we can change the world by singing. Yet, many of us are not accustomed to this “singing culture” or to “being singers.” Sadly, and tragically, songs are disappearing from the basic repertoire, and from teacher training programs. This workshop is intended to help leaders in the field reverse that trend. We’ll focus on the historic context of singing together, and how directors and administrators can support a regular community singing time in their programs. And we’ll sing a little, too. What better way to reinforce the ECE community! Singing together supports a sense of belonging, of community, of motivation to learn. Especially now, following this long period of isolation, singing together welcomes children and families back to school, and sets them on track for working, learning and being together. It reminds us that we are, indeed, social beings.

Designing Engaging and Effective Professional Development Sessions - Strategies Developed at Peregrine School
How can teachers’ meetings really help our teachers? What about our full day professional development days? How can professional development create a more unified, inspiring school? In this session, three experienced preschool directors will share strategies which are used effectively at Peregrine School, a Reggio-inspired preschool center in Davis, California. Teachers or directors will leave this session with practical strategies for using time well at teachers’ meetings and for planning and carrying out effective professional development days. You will learn about Paravision, a strategy which allows teachers to problem solve at meetings, and about planning with Reggio-inspired cognitive charting. You will learn to assess your program annually with Empowerment Evaluation tools, and consider guidelines for effective, hands-on sessions in which we model with each other what we want to do with kids. Good professional development is at the heart of any excellent program. This session will be hands-on. Participants will practice the ideas presented so that they are ready to use them when they return to their school. At Peregrine School, we have drawn from the work of various researchers, who will be credited, to create a practical program which works.

Learn with Me/Aprende Conmigo: Engaging Multilingual Caregivers and Children in Hands-On STEM, Nutrition, Garden and Literacy Activities
Enriching bilingual STEM and nutrition education during young learners' formative years promotes positive long-term academic and social outcomes and builds the literacy, numeracy and inquiry skills of future scientists and innovators. An early childhood STEM Educator and Early Childhood Program Manager from GrowingGreat, an LA garden, nutrition and STEM education nonprofit invite attendees of all experience levels to join the fun. We will provide participants the supplies for a hands-on exploration of multilingual STEM, nutrition and garden activities with literacy components. GrowingGreat leads the Early Childhood Group for the Association of Science and Technology Centers, sharing and publishing hands-on bilingual activities from children’s museums, science centers and zoos nationwide. Outdoor classrooms, kitchens and museum spaces become laboratories where students, caregivers and teachers can hypothesize, observe and taste the results of their experiments. Presenters will share their experience developing accessible, culturally-responsive, bilingual activities and reaching families in need of resources, and open the floor to attendees to participate in sample activities and brainstorm how this model could flourish in their classrooms and communities. Presenters will also provide participants with an extensive book list with bilingual stories featuring communities of color, which can be easily integrated into programs for grades PreK-5.

Reimagining Well-Being in ECE: A Healing Circle for Early Educators
A healing circle is different from a workshop. Where a workshop focuses on teaching new content, a circle is about accessing and honoring the deeper wisdom that is already within each of us. Circles are embodied, community care practices that recognize many ways of knowing and connecting through heart, body, spirit, nature, and the wider collective, not just the mind. This session is an intentional move against the systems that conspire daily against early educator well-being especially, in an effort to inspire and cultivate new care systems that center our teachers thriving. "A healing circle is the process undertaken to promote healing based upon Native traditional belief systems... a sacred symbol of the interdependence of all forms of life." (Stevenson, 1999?). They are supported spaces of compassionate listening, deep personal reflection, and respectful sharing. Healing circles originated from the talking circle traditions of Indigenous peoples worldwide. The structure of this Circle has been adapted from the following two modern Circle models and teachings - Healing Circles Global and Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth.

Alternative Grading Practices in the College Classroom: Removing Barriers to Student Success
Designed for college faculty at any level of experience, during this presentation two faculty describe their journey toward more equitable grading practices by implementing principles of ungrading and standards/skill-based grading in using open educational resources in a general education child development course and a practicum infant/toddler education course Each instructor will outline their process of creating courses focused not on the cumulation of points as a determining factor of learning but skill and outcome mastery. The presentation will outline the utilization of student self-evaluation of learning, redesign of course policies, and a course narrative consistently returning to support of learning instead of "how many points until you pass." They will share their lessons learned and the changes made from one semester to the next as they discovered what worked, what failed miserably, and what needed tweaking.

Loose Parts Inspirations in the Early Learning Environment
Loose Parts provide learning opportunities across all areas of development and in all spaces in the classroom. But how can we make that work when Loose Parts feel overwhelming and like too much “stuff?” We will not only provide inspiration for how we’ve incorporated Loose Parts into our classrooms, but we will also discuss how we introduce Loose Parts collections to groups of children. Join us as we explore budget friendly and accessible ways to curate collections and provide provocations for children from 2 to 5 years old.

The DRDP Data Exchange: Reducing Bias by Connecting Preschool, TK and K Teachers
The Evidence-Based Data Exchange is a project implemented by the Early Childhood Education Department at the Marin County Office of Education with the goal of reducing bias by sharing evidence-based and strengths-focused data. This project began in Fall 2020 as part of the P3 initiative with the goal of supporting alignment between preschool and TK/kindergarten teachers. Preschool teachers meet with their former children’s new teachers to share information collected in the DRDP as well as a list of “10 Things I Want You to Know,” filled out by both the preschool teacher and the family. This year, families were invited to join these meetings and experience the collaborative efforts between the teachers. The panel will consist of the project lead, Isobel Shaw, a participating preschool teacher and a participating TK/kindergarten teacher (to be later identified). Leah will facilitate, providing opportunities for each of the participants to share their experience of connecting with one another to share information about the children they work with.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place, Help! How do I Decide! Using the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct
Participation in this workshop will provide participants the opportunity to share the difficult decision that educators have to make in providing quality care and education for the children that they serve. We will explore how to use the Code and the NAEYC strategies as we come to a decision. Balancing the sometimes-conflicting needs of those involved can present you with a dilemma. NAEYC states, “Standards of ethical behavior in early childhood care and education are based on commitment to the following core values that are deeply rooted in the history of the field of early childhood care and education. We have made a commitment to •Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle •Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn •Appreciate and support the bond between the child and family •Recognize that children are best understood and supported in the context of family, culture,* community, and society •Respect the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and colleague) •Respect diversity in children, families, and colleagues •Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect”.

Preschool Field Trips: Connecting Curriculum and Community
In this presentation, we will explore our experiential approach in using field trips with our preschool-aged children to build a sense of community, both within families and children, but also with our sense of place within our communities. We will lay out our reflective practice as we intentionally planned three field trips to our local walkways and connected these trips to our young children's learning in the areas of science, language, literacy, and art. We will share how these practices deepened children’s connection to their sense of place and space, expanded their own reflections, and strengthened our sense of classroom community through gathering together and starting traditions. The target audience for this presentation are all early childhood educators that plan and implement curriculum. It is applicable to a variety of early childhood settings, home and center-based centers (public or private). This presentation is inclusive in nature, and all are welcome to join, reflect, and share how they might plan field trips with intention.

Forming Meaningful Family Partnerships between Families and Early Educators: An Intersectional Approach
Family partnerships are critical for the learning and development of young children (DEC, 2014; NAEYC, 2011). However, there is no one-size fits all approach to meaningfully engage families. In addition, each family unit identifies with multiple social identity groups, which may intersect, further impacting their values, beliefs, and needs. This workshop will focus on strengthening family partnerships in early learning settings. We will begin by introducing the concept of intersectionality to highlight the individualized experiences holding multiple, overlapping identities can have on the family unit. Using the Family Systems Framework, we will review family characteristics, interactions, functions and changes to better understand the complexities and needs of each family unit. We will pay particular attention to families who hold intersecting identities, including those who have children with disabilities. We will draw from interviews with families to illustrate their experiences, values, and priorities in early education settings, providing opportunities for participants to engage in critical reflection and discussions on their family engagement processes. For example, this may include a family of color who have a child with a disability. Lastly, we will offer strategies to strengthen collaboration and partnerships between educators and families. The suggested audience for this workshop is advanced.

The Healing Power of Art: Art Activities to Help Children Identify and Manage Their Feelings
A study reveals a surge in depression and anxiety in Black and Brown kids between the ages of 5 and 11. This study inspired me to develop the healing power of art. A workshop designed to provide art activities to help children identify and manage their feelings. While most of us are not certified art therapies, we can still support our community and improve access to creative spaces that can help children express themselves .Caring for our children and our communities is to create support systems to address mental health issues.

Environment as a Third Teacher: Designing High-Quality Outdoor Learning Experiences
Are you eager to learn how to successfully design and engage children in high-quality play-based outdoor learning experiences? Are you ready for a toolkit you can implement in your teaching right away? Join us for 10+ practical strategies in designing high-quality play-based outdoor learning activities. Children learn best through exploring the world around them. Play-based outdoor learning activities provide a platform to promote children develop and learning across all domains. Our Regio Emilia inspired preschool program has incorporated play-based learning into our daily schedules. More excitingly, every week, there is a whole day of intentional designed outdoor learning activities dedicated for children to learn through exploration and discovery. A variety of purposefully planned learning activities take place on the beach, in the mountain, or in the woods within our community. Such experiences benefit children's development in all domains: physical development as they hike on trails and climb rocks, cognitive development as they generate questions and solve problems, and social-emotional development as they work in a team. The content of this workshop is appropriate for early childhood educators at all levels: beginner, intermediate, or advanced early childhood education professionals.

Mi Casa Es Tu Casa: Preparing an Intentional Learning Environment for all Learners
The classroom’s physical environment sets the stage for active and engaged learning. Getting the classroom ready for all learners, monolingual, bilingual, or dual language learners should begin before the child’s first day, creating an environment which successfully shows respect for diversity and is prepared to welcome and support different languages and cultures. Participants will gain knowledge on creating an environment where children can increase their confidence, feel comfortable, and build a foundation for positive relationships with teachers and their peers. This session is appropriate for beginning, intermediate, or advanced participants working with children from birth to transitional pre-k.
