Impacts of Transitional Kindergarten Implementation on California’s 0-8 Care and Education
For intermediate or advanced audience. The state budget includes considerable funding gains in ECE. However, inequities persist. The PK-3 ECE Specialist Instruction Credential is not centered on developmentally-, linguistically-, and culturally-appropriate 0-8 care and education, which reduces program quality. Reports reveal that TK teachers and school administrators lack adequate professional preparation for four-year-olds and their families. ECE higher education can inform quality teacher preparation for a more robust PK-3 credential. ECE teachers face barriers, and must navigate pathways, to obtain the PK-3 credential, limiting a qualified and experienced workforce available for TK. TK implementation has also negatively impacted working families, who require continuity of full-day care. Families, providers, and districts can strategically respond. With lower enrollments and the addition of 3’s in TK, preschool programs cannot financially sustain the more expensive infant and toddler spaces. Plummeting enrollment in preschools, ECE teacher lay-offs, and ECE teacher flight plague State Preschool, Head Start, and private preschools, resulting in fewer infant-toddler and three-year-old childcare slots and more child care deserts. In this workshop, we will discuss and share research, invite participants’ perspectives on these dynamics, and identify and discuss strategies for moving ahead.

Professional Development for In-Home Carer-Educators: Faceless and Unrecognized in the Early Childhood workforce
An interactive workshop (plus Q&A), presenting results of a multi-year action research project which was conducted by, with, and for the home-based early childhood carer-educator field of practice. Workshop includes attendees participating in one brief element of the professional development course offered in the research project. The initial findings from the action research project were stunning: after just one day of contextualized professional development instruction, participants’ positive image of the child increased from 34.9% to 67.0% and their negative image of the child decreased from 15.6% to 3.5%. These changes represent dramatic and meaningful changes in their perceptions (and their professional practice) which they brought back with them to the children and families they support. Interacting with the content of this research project and presentation and “seeing the faces” of these faceless carer-educators offers workshop attendees an opportunity to extend their thinking around the definition of “early childhood educator,” facing and re-thinking structural inequalities and systemic failures of the education establishment regarding carer-educators who support infants and children and their families in private home settings. Workshop attendees are invited to share their ideas on future avenues of research as a new thread of dialogue in the broader context of our field.

Who Is Responsible for Behavioral Management in Early Childhood Settings?
This workshop will focus on Behavioral management in a Classroom setting. Behavioral management is crucial in early education classrooms because it ensures a conducive and organized learning environment. It helps teachers establish clear expectations and rules, promoting positive behavior and minimizing disruptions. By addressing challenging behaviors promptly, teachers can support students' social-emotional development and create a safe space for learning. Effective behavioral management strategies will also enhance student engagement, participation, and overall academic achievement to support early childhood educators.

You Just Became a Licensed Child Care Provider, Now What? How To Beat the Odds and Be Successful!
This presentation is for licensed family childcare providers who may be new to the childcare industry, newly licensed, have little to no early Childhood Education Units and like me, never, ever thought they would be working in Family Childcare or the Childcare Industry at all! Statistically, new Family Childcare Providers only survive two years because of a lack of community support, knowledge in Early Childhood Education, knowledge of what funding streams and programs are out there, or how to stay in business and advocate for themselves and their families. I want to change that outcome. It is possible to be successful long term, but we have to think like a business and invest like a business while remaining true to our character as an FCC.

Where I’m From: A Personal Journey for Connecting Through Community, Culture and Poetry
Any commitment to Equity begins with a commitment to learning more about ourselves and how we show up in the world; a commitment to reflecting on the people, places, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped our lives, often in imperceptible ways. The question, “Where am I from?” asks for more than just a point on a map - it’s an invitation to deep-dive into the stirrings and stories that linger below the surface of our entire lives. In reminiscing with the past, we get curious, “Who am I and who are my people?”, “Where do I belong?”, and “What matters most?” Inspired by writer-teacher George Ella Lyon and her poem, "Where I'm From", participants will be guided in personalizing a poem about their own lives and journey through a series of fun, "Mad Libs"-style prompts designed to help reawaken our senses and memories. Our poems will be used as the foundation for self-reflection and evolving conversation about childhood, culture, identity, and the many different parts that make us who we are. In the spirit of growing community and building skills for connecting across differences, participants will also receive tools for sharing this inspiring activity with others. This workshop is being offered by the CAEYC Equity and Inclusion committee. Are you curious about committee work? Join us to learn more! Speaker(s): Jodi Becker April Cortez Liliana Perez

Children Need Creative Adults in Their Lives. Join us as we explore our play and creative thinking preferences.
Creativity is far more than personal artistic expression. Playful attitude and creative thinking skills are abilities supporting a lifetime of growth, personal awareness and emotional health. This holds true for ourselves and for the children in our care. Research shows teacher and parent creativity influence how children think and behave creatively. But you say, “I don’t draw and I’m not artistic, how can I become more creative?” It turns out there is much we can do to foster the attitudes and behaviors indicative of creative expression and creative thinking in ourselves and others. In this workshop we will reflect on childhood play personalities and how play can emerge (or not) in our adult lives. The link between play and creativity will be made and we will explore creative thinking style preferences. Are you a clarifier, ideator, developer or implementor? Additionally, we will explore creativity fostering behaviors teachers use to support creativity in any STEM subject. To address the challenges we face, 21st century learners will need to be more creative than the creative thinking that first created the challenges. Let’s learn how to better support young learners and develop more playfulness and purpose along the way.

Not sure what to make of screen time for young children? Neither are most parents and educators. Screens have made their way into nearly every corner of children's lives. Exciting new research has begun to reveal healthy and beneficial ways of using screens both at home and in school. In this workshop, I summarize this research and provide guidance for educators who are interested in making content themselves.

Learned Behaviors: Everything That Is Learned Is Not Intentionally Taught
The majority of our behaviors, beliefs, values and behaviors are learned from our environments, particularly observing others. Most of our beliefs and values are learned within our family, however, all can be learned through all interactions and environments, including media. "Learned behaviors are not intentionally taught; we learn them through observation, operant conditioning and interactions and relationships with others. In this workshop we will explore some common "learned behaviors" and expand our discussion to considering how learned beliefs and values contribute to children's development of problem solving skills, discrimination, empathy, and other beliefs and behaviors. When we consider that behaviors, beliefs, and values are learned, but not necessarily taught, it opens up the opportunity to become aware of our communication, interactions, language, problem solving, and other behaviors that may unintentionally teach behaviors, beliefs, and values. Finally, we will explore strategies to ensure unintentional teaching demonstrates positive and pro-social behaviors, beliefs and values.

Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Practices in Early Care and Development
Advanced- Trauma-informed educational practices is finally gaining traction with schools wanting to support students affected by stress and trauma but often these practices are considered to be separate from equity-centered teaching initiatives. This presentation will interweave equity-centered trauma-informed practices and neuroscience perspectives as an integrated and holistic approach to early childhood education and development. Through culturally responsive discussions defining what equity center trauma-informed practices mean for early childhood educators, the presentation will provide effective practices that encourage teaching strategies and approaches to restore children's well-being. This presentation will provide information on how the brain learns in environments that offer equity and cultural responsiveness. Lastly, this presentation will address the extent of the ACEs questionnaire use in schools' initiatives for restorative education.

Hard Conversations: How to Create Positive Relationships with Guardians and Parents in Your Program
As a family childcare educator or any early educator there are many times when we need to sit with Parents or Guardians and have uncomfortable conversations. Often we are not sure where to start and we are given short direct information about how to have specific conversations. This training helps to develop and inform educators a professional way to have the hard conversations with parents. From enforcing policies to speaking to parents about their child's development. Communication with the adults of the children we care for is just as important as how the children are being educated and cared for. Having communication skills necessary to help educators during those hard conversations are crucial for an effective and efficiently run program.

School Readiness: It’s Not Just About Students, It’s About Families 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 Family Pathway to Partnership created by the Lamont Elementary School District (LESD) Family Resource & Learning Center to support all families and children in being successful. Using a multi-tiered support system, the LESD-FRLC 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.

A Story About the Story About a Song About a Story: Singing in Support of Literacy
Literacy is NOT about scores on reading tests! Nor is it about reading boring texts. Literacy is about developing a love of language, experiencing and appreciating the richness and power of language. It is developing a strong sense of narrative, in stories and in telling the details of one’s own experiences. It is about being delighted by the description of an image. It is about making connections, judgements, decisions. It is about understanding and being understood. Decoding and word recognition skills, important as they are, 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. 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, and stories about the stories about the songs. Ballads and corridos tell about ourselves, our lives, our legends, our heroes, our history, our values. Some books are really songs. Confused? Interested? Find out about how songs and singing support literacy. Become a singer and a storyteller. Help children become singers and storytellers. Learn some fabulous songs, and have loads of fun!

Supporting Dual Language Learners in Preschool: The Role of Teachers in Developing and Implementing Culturally Sustaining ECE Curriculum
This session will explore various ways of implementing a developmentally and culturally appropriate dual language curriculum in preschool settings. One of the greatest challenges facing preschools in California is the rapidly growing population of students whose first language isn’t English. These demographics underscore the importance of designing instruction for the dual language learner (DLL) population in preschool and early grades. However, many preschool teachers are not well trained to integrate culturally and linguistically responsive language programs and lack instructional strategies to effectively reach out to DLL preschoolers (e.g., Espinosa, 2016). Early Childhood Education (ECE) has become a significant arena in which to address these growing concerns and is a strategic location to implement effective approaches that support DLL students in their earliest years of education. This session is to provide theoretical backgrounds of dual language development and present how theories can shape developmental and culturally appropriate curricula for bilingual and multilingual children. Several in-class examples will be shared. It will discuss the importance of family involvement in the process of introducing cultural diversities, which educators can implement into their practice to support young children’s dual language and literacy development.

At a national level, registries of workforce data play a crucial role in all states that have them, informing policy change and partnering with licensing entities, amongst other initiatives. The California ECE Workforce Registry is one of the largest in the nation and serves as the steward of the state’s workforce data including that of Quality Counts California, stipend programs, professional development, demographics and more, thus playing an important role in the ECE data landscape in California aiming to support the larger vision of integrated data systems and clear policies for data sharing. Through different modules and technical assistance tools, the Registry has enhanced and supported engagement across different levels of usership, assisting with data conversations that both supports the work in the state and represents more than 140,000 early care and education professionals. This session will cover the important role that the Registry plays in the state, supporting continued engagement and workforce development, reporting and research, and our vision for the future. Suggested audience—open to beginner, intermediate and advance.

The Wandering Journey of Career Pathways for Early Educators
Only a very few of us knew from the beginning what we wanted to be when we grew up. Even now, many of us are still waiting to figure it out. Thankfully, that journey doesn’t have to happen as a solo adventure. Join us as we delve into the diverse and rewarding career pathways in early childhood care and education and what led us to them. Whether you're a student eager to find the best career fit or an educator seeking to make an impact, this workshop offers a discussion and exploration of the multifaceted world of careers working with children, how we are led to them, and how we can mentor others along the way.

Using Puppets to Increase Engagement
Puppets are essential in inclusive settings to ensure that all children can access, participate, and learn. Participants will acquire simple puppetry strategies, such as giving a puppet “sight” and breath, that increase young children's attention and engagement. By applying these strategies, participants will explore turning everyday objects into puppets. Daniel Gill will present specific strategies practitioners can implement to teach social skills, such as appropriate touch, body space awareness, reading body language, and perspective taking. Daniel will also present examples of how puppets can be adapted to meet the needs of diverse learners, including children on the Autism spectrum. In dyads and small groups, participants will practice strategies and games for giving life to a puppet and playing social-emotional puppetry games. Participants will discuss which strategies they can integrate into their learning environments.

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. New this year - Connections to the DRDP and factors related to Kindergarten readiness.

Leadership to Engage All Early Learners (and their Teachers!)
At the heart of all learning is engagement. A learner’s engagement reflects the learning environment—the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual space—which is shaped by decisions about what, how, and why the environment functions as it does. A teacher’s language and interactions support learners to access the learning opportunities that are embedded within a supportive learning environment. One role a leader plays is to provide feedback to teachers about if, when, and how a teacher’s language and interactions fosters student engagement. In this session, leaders will reflect on engagement as a condition of learning and examine a teacher’s language use during teacher-child interactions. As leaders observe video, photos, and transcripts, they will evaluate these exchanges using a reflection tool designed for early childhood settings. Leaders will consider deliberate language to use when providing feedback to teachers and designing coaching plans. Throughout the session, leaders will note how their own language and feedback ensures engagement is strengthened for adults as well as children.

Leadership with the Brain in Mind
Leadership is run by the brain! Most people would be surprised to know that brains make decisions that “feel” before they “think.” The biggest difference between effective and emerging leaders is how they use attributes of emotional intelligence, knowing themselves and relating to others. Leadership is not just about decision-making; it's about understanding the brain's role in guiding our actions and emotions. This workshop aims to empower attendees to enhance their leadership skills by delving into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and leadership. Through interactive sessions and discussions, participants will gain insights into the emotional intelligence required for effective leadership and how it relates to the brain's functioning.

Proyectando Nuestras Sombras Lúdicas
(This presentation will be in Spanish). Through participating in a collaborative professional development series about Tinkering with First 5 SF and the Exploratorium over the course of the last several years, our bilingual Head Start classroom has been investigating light and shadow with several groups of children and families. We are eager to share what we have learned about inspiring creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking while building on the Tinkering resources now available on CECO. We will share documentation of our studies that demonstrate ways to purposefully integrate STEM, literacy, and social emotional development. We will also share strategies to meaningfully include families in culturally responsive scientific inquiry. Participants will get to tinker with at least two hands-on learning experiences that they can easily implement in their own classrooms. Each participant will leave with resources and ideas to make the most of children’s natural interest in light and shadow.

Reaching Your Kinesthetic Learners Through Arts and Physical Activity
The kinesthetic learner is often overlooked because there is a fear of chaos if you get your students up and moving. However, there is an abundance of research that supports that value of physical activity as it will increase the opportunities to learn. This presentation is packed with easy to implement activities that incorporate the arts and physical activity. The strategies and ideas will enhance lessons and increase student understanding and engagement.

The Chairs Are Theirs: Conflict Resolution and Emotion Regulation in TK and Kindergarten
In this workshop participants will interact with scenarios from educational settings around problem solving and children regulating their emotions. Participants will learn about using a restorative practices approach with young children (approximately ages 4-8) that is not 'top down' but rather reflects the children's power and agency. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own role in teaching young children about problem solving and repairing harm. Participants will reflect on how to embed this approach into their teaching.

Building a Strong Infant/Toddler ECE System in a Time of Transformation
As Transitional Kindergarten expands, there is an unintended impact on the early care and education system serving infants and toddlers. This workshop will share a continuum of resources to fortify the infant/toddler ECE system, as well as legislative and systems change recommendations. Resources range from a toolkit for California ECE providers to expand their infant/toddler services, fee waivers for facility renovation in particular municipalities, and free professional development for LA County early educators caring for children under 36 months. In addition, a blueprint elevating legislative, administrative, and program recommendations that can be implemented across the State will be shared.

Behold the Natural, Powerful Relationship that Young Children Have with Songs Let’s Play "SONG GAME!"
This workshop is valuable for EC professionals at ALL LEVELS of experience. Attendees will learn how to play SONG GAME with 2 - 7 year old children. SONG GAME is a classroom-tested, research-based, authentic child-centered approach to hands-on music activities that directly enriches children's development in language and natural math concepts. Familiar rhythm instruments become the game pieces! We all have been listening to songs all our lives. Teachers and young children know and love songs. With no prior music training, teachers can increase the value of song interactions tenfold by tapping into the "secret" science that underlies young children's natural attraction to songs. Children understand songs the way they understand games: both have rules and children understand rules; they often make up their own rules during free play. In this workshop teachers will learn how to employ children's natural predisposition for enjoying songs, non-competitive social games, music, rhythm, language and their imaginations! Come and play "SONG GAME!"

Get Those Blocks Off the Shelves! Supporting the Use of Open-Ended Materials
We all know that open-ended materials should play a central role in the education of young children. These materials can open up entire worlds for children and link to all areas of study in a classroom, both as a place to generate ideas and connections, and as a place to expand on and solidify learning. However, too often these materials are underutilized in our classrooms. Join us for a workshop, appropriate for all levels, that will help you to reinvigorate and expand your work with basic materials, with a focus on unit blocks. Learn about the developmental stages of block building and how block building connects to all areas of academic and social growth. Now more than ever, materials that hold central collaboration and socialization while building all the needed academic skills should be fully embraced. Debbie and Scott bring together several decades of experience at progressive schools in New York City and Los Angeles in this session aimed at giving you both the philosophical underpinning and truly practical tools you can use when you return to your schools.

The Power and Intentions of Play: Helping Your Families Understand the Developmental Significance of Play for Young Learners
Have you ever had to explain to families why play is so valuable to your students?! This is a common hurdle for early childhood educators. This workshop will illustrate key developmental aspects of play as it relates directly to the learning of young children, ages 2-5, and specific strategies of communication to help your families gain clarity and appreciation for the intentionality and depth of learning that takes place throughout the many modalities of play in early childhood settings. Adults can sometimes unintentionally take play for granted, as just something little kids do before they start "real school." However, we know that young children enter the world already learning from each of their day-to-day interactions, and play is the primary vehicle by which developmental milestones for young children are met. Join us for a wonderful affirmation of the great work you are doing with you youngest learners, and simultaneously build your toolbox for educating families and parents about the power and intentions of play.

Everyone at the Table: Exploring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Classroom
Children notice “differences” very early in life, even before they can express their observations and experiences verbally. It is easy, and very natural, for us to “introduce” activities and materials to support and expand on what children are already observing. For example, materials, such as skin-toned crayons, and books that tell about people from many cultures, support children’s learning. The way a classroom is set up, to provide accessibility for all abilities, is an opportunity for children to develop comfort with their observations and answers to their questions.

To Read or Not to Read: Ways to Approach Controversial and Banned Books
We are living and working in a time of unprecedented restrictions on what we can teach and talk about with young children. We are faced with the banning of books – some new, some tried and true books we have used for years. And many long-time favorites, while not banned, have become so controversial that it is difficult for us to find a path forward for reading them with children. As so many of us know, these controversial children's books often provide outstanding springboards for discussion of important issues, with children and adults. We’ll look at 3-4 such books, and discuss ways you might use them in your program. We'll also talk about strategies to approach books that might be banned. Finally, we’ll share ways of bringing families and administrators along with us on this journey. Bring your questions, ideas, struggles and successes, and even a favorite book, to the conversation!

Play’s the Thing
You learned about the importance of play in your college classes. You love the phrase “Play is children’s Work.” But what IS play? Why does it seem so difficult to provide ample opportunities for children to play? How do you advocate for a play-based program? How do you translate your belief in the importance of play into language that families and administrators will understand? How and where does play fit into “kindergarten readiness”? ...into curriculum? ...into the environment (at home, in school, in the community)? We may not solve every question or meet every challenge. But, together, we can definitely find a way to play! So, bring your knowledge, your successes, and your challenges, to the discussion. You might just take away some helpful hints and strategies from each other! Speaker(s): Jacki Breger Wilma Gold

Building a Bridge: Transitions from PreK to Elementary
We all want to give children educational and social experiences throughout the pre-kindergarten years that will give them the best possible start. What you might not realize, however, is that the start of the pre-kindergarten year is also the perfect time to begin thinking about kindergarten. Building successful transitions from early learning environments to Local Education Agencies is the key to building resilient and successful students. Participants will spend time looking at the California's Great Start Transition to Elementary School Toolkit and identify next steps to build a bridge for parents from the early years to Transitional TK/Kindergarten. Topics will include: • school readiness • transitioning to kinder booklists • best ways to engage parents

Centering Child and Family Culture in Early Childhood Teacher Education
Early childhood programs are the first school experience for most of our state's diverse children and families. Besides theory, teachers need to understand the variations in experience, culture, and beliefs that families bring to our programs. In this workshop we will discuss techniques, materials and teaching practices that help pre-service teachers learn to center family culture as a basis for practice in the early childhood classroom. Participants will learn new activities and materials to use in teacher training and education. Participants will also have the opportunity to share resources.

An Honest Look at the Risks of Special Education Placement in the Preschool Years
Despite the Individual with Disabilities Act including a Least Restrictive Environment provision in 1975, the practice of starting students with identified special education needs in segregated settings remains common practice. This presentation will take an honest look the systems that support this practice to occur, review the research surrounding special education placements in pre-school, and take a developmental perspective on alternatives to common practice for some of our youngest learners. Real- life examples of students will be shared, as well as a co-presenter as part of the presentation telling his own story as a student who receives special education services.

In order to move forward, we have to understand our past. This training will help to unpack some of the historical events that have shaped society today. Participants will understand why there needs to be dedicated time and space to cultivate Black Joy in ECE settings. In honor of Juneteenth, this this training will also highlight and celebrate Black culture. Participants will learn more about how to incorporate the many “gifts” of the Black child in classroom spaces, while affirming their social identity. We have to understand and make the connection between teaching and learning. Participants will learn more about the “impact” of stress on brain development. Participants will learn how this modification can then affect the way information is received and processed in classroom spaces. Participants will understand the pedagogical approach to support Black children in academic spaces to support achievement. Finally, families are their child’s first teacher. In order to move this work forward, we have to collaborate and partner with families. Participants will understand the importance of partnering with Black families to support the Black child. This training is open to all, working with children 0-18 years of age.

ECE and Social Justice: Empowering Children Through Correlations Among Developmental Principles and Healthy Citizenship
This is a training to aid participants in integrating the principles of a Social Justice Program (including principles drawn from the “Anti-Bias Curriculum”, Derman-Sparks, NAEYC) with other developmental and social theories. Understanding how such theories cross validate with each other and a Social Justice program allows for a more assertive and effective application of such theories to all areas of educational programs. Participants can better articulate the need for such approaches to skeptical colleagues, administrators, and parents in theoretical terms that are more familiar to them. Participants will gain greater sophistication in theories conducive to Social Justice: self-esteem theory, developmental theory, individual/community dynamics, bully/victim research & theory, attributes of children who thrive, communication theory, and the American Promise. Concrete plans for action will be discussed.

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 childcare providers 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 Parent Empowerment for Equitable Systems
First 5 Orange County’s vision is that all children reach their full potential. To achieve this vision, we put families at the center, acknowledging that parents are a child’s first teacher and best advocate. Family engagement framework is intended to provide guidance to educators, leaders, families, communities, and other stakeholders, as they plan, implement and evaluate strategies across multiple programs for effective family engagement to support the whole child. Without a framework for engagement, support from the program may not produce intentional and meaningful relationships. It is important to understand and remove barriers, to reduce disparities in access to equitable quality services and positive outcomes, and instead build bridges so that parents can provide input to our work, access services and better advocate for what's best for their families. The tiers of engagement and toolkit supports the program to reflect and brainstorm how to further engage families towards co-decision making for children to thrive.

Challenging Kids (Often) Come with Challenging Parents - Oh My!
Focus of workshop is dealing with the reality that often children with challenging issues may also have challenging parents, including difficult family situations. Or, in some cases while parents are supportive and respectful, staff may need to bring up uncomfortable observations about their children. The workshop aids understanding and addressing the underlying emotional and psychological issues of parents or clients with children needing support and/or issues with your program; and how staff can best meet their needs through this awareness combined with appropriate technique, without compromising their integrity and needs. Four keys on how to assert professionalism along with a three-step process for making the hard communications. And for parents to express their concerns to staff.

Helping Adults and Children Use Restorative Communication
How does your staff navigate difficult conversations in a healthy way? What tools do your young students have to resolve conflicts? This session provides a framework and strategies to help adults and children learn how to have challenging conversations in a kind, respectful manner. We tackle how to talk to children and adults when they are emotionally elevated. Restorative Language, aka Nonviolent Communication, is a pillar of trauma-informed schools that assists communities in developing new skills that transform culture. Workshop participants practice using restorative language and learn 3-5 tools to help their communities use restorative language. After the session, participants can enroll in a free online course in restorative communication for educators to deepen their knowledge. Content is relevant to educators with an openness to thinking differently about how we talk to one another.

Being with Babies: Educaring with Intention
It required a special calling to take good care of other people’s children. The day in a classroom with babies can feel like an eternity, or it can fly by. Depending on which it is, you can either feel fulfilled and refreshed, or exhausted and depleted by pick-up time. This session is designed to help you find the energy of connection in each moment, whether during diapering or quietly observing what the babies are doing, or even while comforting their cries. It’s not about what is happening so much as about how you are as it happens. Through experimental explorations, demonstrations, and video observation, the presenters will lead participants to a new viewpoint about what it means to be busy, a new level of self-awareness, and a richer understanding of how Educaring helps them do their very best for babies.

Gender vs Sex. What’s the Difference and Why Does It Matter?
Gender is an important part of children’s development, but what’s the difference between gender and sex? and why is gender so important? We will take a look at this and go into our own ideas of gender, and how they can play into our interactions with children in our care. We’ll discuss dress up, pronouns, and gender expression as well as what influences it. Hopefully you will walk away with a better understanding, and the confidence to talk about gender development with the families you work with.

Small Humans, Big Math: Bridging Preschool and Early Elementary
Young children are eminently capable of making sense of complex mathematical ideas. We will dig into the connecting threads of preschool and elementary mathematics through a focus on children’s natural curiosity and sense making, highlighting the details and nuance of children's mathematical thinking that emerge as children play and interact with one another and the environment. We draw from a library of classroom videos collected in preschool and TK classrooms across California to offer a vision of playful, powerful, and coherent math learning to fulfill the promise of universal preschool in California.

The State of the ECE Workforce: Current Data and How to Use It
The Center for the Study of Child Care Employment surveyed thousands of center- and FCC-based educators in 2023 about their personal and professional well-being. In this workshop, we will share the current state of the ECE workforce in California. Topics will be both program-level (for instance, financial stability and TK expansion impacts) and personal (educator mental health and turnover). Together, we will discuss the findings in the data--and learn about our advocacy toolkit. This workshop will not only give you the most recent data on the ECE workforce, but also provide you with the skills to use this data for local and statewide advocacy.

Creating a Healing Classroom with Young Children: Attachment Theory Approach
Challenging behaviors in the classroom can be frustrating and disrupt the daily routine. Children with challenging behaviors are experiencing challenges within themselves. These challenges are likely to be on a daily basis with caregivers or loved ones. As children experience these challenges, it prevents them from learning, socializing, and engaging in trusting and respectful relationships not just short term, but long term. This is a risk to our communities! Through our conversation, we will develop a sense of understanding adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and their effect in the classroom. We will develop an awareness of children's emotions using research child development theories, attachment and social learning theory. Examine how to better understand and facilitate children's behavior. Create a purposeful approach to have healthy intentional relationships with children and their emotions. In conclusion, understanding the whole child can benefit us in the classroom.

Educator Well-Being: A Tool for Recruitment and Retention
Staff morale and turnover are especially challenging now. Many early childhood educators are overwhelmed and leaving the profession in record numbers. But, there are also educators holding on and doing the best they can in challenging situations. The focus of this session is how to lift up current staff and attract new candidates by focusing on well-being. The participants who will benefit most from this session are educational leaders who are excited to try something new to create a healthy culture that supports everyone’s well-being. First, because well-being means something different to everyone, it’s crucial to have a clear definition, which will be shared. Next, an overview of an organizing framework for well-being in schools is presented to help guide and manage various initiatives. Then, participants participate in an interactive process to help staff articulate their vision and action plan for well-being. By actually experiencing this process in the session, participants leave with at least 10 ideas about how their organization can become a magnet for healthy educators. Finally, participants leave with a planning tool to help them increase well-being in their own schools.

How American Sign Language Combined with Music Benefits Infants and Toddlers
This is truly a hands-on workshop. From beginning to end, participants will be singing and signing letters, words, and songs. Each song has been selected to become adaptable for the attendee’s personal needs. After reviewing how the brain develops memories and how ASL and music tap into many of a child’s learning styles, attendees will get to sing and sign along to ten to fifteen songs that will encourage participation from children and can be easily adapted to any age group. Several lesson plan suggestions will be demonstrated on how to include ASL within their daily classroom activities. No experience is required – just a lot of enthusiasm.

Strength-Based Approach to Nonverbal Engagement
Exploring the concept of the three different types of engagement; Emotional, Cognitive, and Behavioral, this presentation looks at how teachers engage with children in a verbal and nonverbal way. According to Ladd (2009) “children utilizing generally accepted on-task behavior are seen as those who are the most actively engaged.” What if there was a different way to measure how much a child is absorbing throughout their day? A way to help the quiet children become participants in the place, instead of bystanders? Challenging our accepted perception of involved learning, educators can dive deeper into the quiet time and use intentional lesson planning to have meaningful connections without words. While most classrooms focus on behavioral engagement as the main standard of success, this approach challenges that ideology. In this workshop we will look at new ways to measure engagement, utilize our environment as another teacher, become comfortable in the quiet times, build relationships with families, and study our own internal bias towards children who are not displaying socially acceptable behaviors. Target audience: Teachers of children aged 0-5.

We Don’t Say Sorry: Giving Children the Appropriate Language to Expand Their Thought Process During Challenging Moments
Too often we see a child physically or emotionally hurt another child, say sorry and then run off to continue playing. As early childhood educators, we want to move away from the “quick fix” and toward intentional, long term learning. We want our children to grow up with the skills to be kind, thoughtful, and capable of solving problems. One of the ways we can do this is by scaffolding children’s development through language. In this workshop we will be discussing how to give children the appropriate language to initiate play, advocate for themselves and mend relationships to foster strong, healthy friendships. With documentation we will illustrate reciprocal communication between teacher and child as well as child to child to explore children’s intentionality, what their individual ideas are, and how to help them make a plan for success. We will also discuss our educator mindset when going into a potentially challenging moment with a child and how to set ourselves up for the highest likelihood for success. With this language we will be able to help children identify, regulate and articulate their ideas and emotions.

Documentation from Imagine Preschool -- a Reggio-Inspired School -- Driving Communication Through Imagination: Using Story Play to Promote Language and Social Development
How can we encourage our children to have a deeper level of interactions? As teachers, this is the question we asked ourselves at Imagine Preschool. We observed our children building complex structures with little interactions amongst themselves. While working side by side, it became clear to us that the children lacked the social tools needed to build relationships with one another. We wanted them to have a richer experience and make deeper connections by supporting their ideas through materials. Through documentation, we created a plan that incorporated the group’s ideas into one story. Using drama, the children were able to develop story elements and language. This fostered communication and collaboration, and allowed their imaginations to flourish. Attendees will see videos and photos of how the teachers worked with children and together go through each step of our documentation and planning process. From this, you will be able to formulate a plan to implement with your teachers. During the workshop we will cover how you can pinpoint your theme, which leading questions will drive action within your group, and by the end, you will walk away with a written project plan curated for your classroom.

Part of This Profession: Family Child Care and the Unifying Framework for the Early Childhood Education Profession
The Unifying Framework for the Early Childhood Education Profession, released in March 2020, represents a vision for a diverse, equitable early childhood education profession with distinct educator designations and roles, aligned preparation pathways, professional compensation, and supportive infrastructure operating in all states, and including all settings. Such bold transformation requires extensive engagement with current and future educators, thoughtful implementation by states and institutions of higher education, and intentional investments over time. This session will provide timely and relevant updates on how the Unifying Framework creation and implementation centered the voices of educators working in family child care settings, and share some insight into some state- and national-level efforts underway, including the work of the Commission on Professional Excellence in Early Childhood Education. Participants will also be asked to consider the opportunities and challenges in their own states and communities as they relate to implementing the recommendations in the Unifying Framework in family child care settings, in particular.

Why Am I a Preschool Teacher? Self-Discovery and Finding Purpose
When teachers enter a classroom, they rarely ask themselves, "What is my purpose here?" Without purpose, there is no direction. So, what is your purpose? This workshop introduces practical exercises which create space for teachers to learn how to center themselves and get in touch with their purpose. Through self-discovery, teachers of all levels can choose for themselves what attributes they choose to apply in the classroom, while discovering other areas of development. Whether you are in a noisy classroom, or taking a quiet breather on your own, our sense of purpose should always be clear. We will discuss what purpose means for individuals in different contexts, and share various experiences. As teachers, we uplift one another as we not only search for clarity and meaning as professionals, but also for our own well-being and happiness!

Count Me In: Engaging Children and Their Caregivers in Accessible Math Activities that Build a Relationship with the Natural World
Do you get frustrated when you hear people say “Oh, I’m just not good at math”? We do! Whether you’ve said that yourself or if you already love math, this session is for you. Early interactions with math concepts have a lasting effect, and negative early interactions can lead to the development of “math anxiety” which can persist into adulthood. Furthermore, traditionally underserved children are given significantly fewer opportunities to explore math through hands-on models. Join educators from PBS SoCal, GrowingGreat and the Academy of Natural Sciences to explore how all of us at CAAEYC can provide hands-on mathematics activities that build self confidence through inquiry-based sensory engagement and help young learners and their caregivers develop a relationship with nature. This session is attended for all audiences. You will leave this session with the tools you need to inspire the math- and nature-lovers of the future. Presenter will discuss topics including: Developing and implementing standard-aligned, hands-on math activities geared toward young learners that explore mathematical concepts Approaches to engaging caregivers in co-exploring math with their children Successful program models for exploring mathematics in outdoor educational and neighborhood spaces Successes and lessons learned when co-developing math curriculum with the communities

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.

Process Art - It’s Not Just for Preschoolers
Paint splatters. Bits of wire. Cardboard and clay. Glue drips galore. These are often seen in rooms filled with preschoolers and younger. But what if they were allowed in elementary classrooms, too? In this workshop, we’ll share the magic that can happen when older children are allowed to explore art without a product in mind. You’ll walk away with a new eye for art in the elementary school classroom, a toolkit with techniques, language and resources and a spark of excitement for how your older children can thrive with new skill sets learned through process art practices.

The Art of Asking Open-Ended Questions to Support Thinking, Learning and Developing
Learn how to intentionally support instruction by asking open-ended questions. Use open inquiry to encourage children’s curiosity, creativity, and reasoning skills, especially during observations for assessment. Not just any questions will do. Equip children to solve problems and understand their world by asking questions that promote critical thinking. Help them relate new information to past or present experiences while developing speech and language skills, building confidence in their abilities, learning to express their thoughts and ideas, and expanding their knowledge. We'll put theory into practice using early childhood scenarios.

When Discipline Is Disparate: Understanding the Experiences of Black Children Through Parent and Teacher Perspectives
This workshop is part of a larger study that focuses on racial microaggressions in early childhood education (preschool through third grade). This presentation focuses on data collected on the experiences of Black Children and families in ECE whose behavior has been hyper-surveilled, more harshly punished, and who are labeled as troublemakers by early childhood educators. These negative school experiences often result in children lacking a sense of belonging in school from their earliest years when their educational identity is beginning to form.

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 child and a good book creates a safe space and a bond, and it fuels a passion for learning and literacy. In fact, research shows that no activity promotes literacy more effectively than reading aloud. This presentation for all levels will review the best new picture books of the year, incorporating read-aloud techniques. The presentation will guide teachers in conducting follow-up conversations in which students connect more deeply with the material, promoting comprehension and love of reading. 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 ease into important classroom conversations and set expectations for kindness. Plus, reading 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.

When Things Are Out of Control: Turning Challenging Moments into Learning Opportunities in Preschool Classrooms
For many novice ECE teachers, classroom management often stands out as one of the biggest challenges they face in daily work. In this workshop, we’ll reflect on our classroom management philosophies, dive deeper in the search for problem solving techniques, and share practical strategies that have been proven to support quality learning in preschool classrooms. When things seems to be “chaotic”, “disruptive”, or “out of control”, there are many things you should and can do, as a professional educator. You can be proactive, set clear expectations and rules, be responsive, and solve problems creatively; you can focus on teaching young children prosocial skills through systematic or spontaneous curriculum, as well as using behaviorism reward system and sticker charts for a quick behavior change; you can be observant, noticing the pattern of the problem and change things around to better meet the students’ needs. In the process of “managing” young children and your classroom, you may discover more about yourself, your personality, as well as your personal and professional beliefs. In the end, we, students and teachers alike, can turn the challenging moments into learning opportunities, thrive after conflicts and unexpected incidents,

No Musical Training? No Problem! Including a Standards-based Music Program in Your Family Child Care Center or Preschool Program
This presentation is ideal for any provider wishing to bring age-appropriate standards-based music education to their center. Music is essential to language acquisition and fluency and should be part of every young child’s life. The number one reason music isn’t taught in Family Child Care centers and other preschool settings is that staff have little to no musical background themselves. While they confidently teach math, science, art, and other subjects to young children, staff lack confidence in teaching music the same way. For centers on limited budgets, bringing in an outside music professional is not a viable option. The importance of going beyond just “music and movement” will be discussed. In this workshop, attendees will discover the musical capabilities of young children, and experience ways in which to teach age-appropriate musical concepts, just as they would science, math, and other subjects They will be presented with various means in which to include music instruction in their center programs, whether as a weekly class offering or as a daily activity. Suggestions for adapting activities will also given.

These Kids are Driving Me Crazy! Why Kids Do the Crazy Things They Do
Sometimes our children just drive us crazy. Their active, noisy and sometimes mischievous behavior invites the worst in us to come out in response. This workshop will teach what to expect, what young children can and cannot do, and several ways for parents/teachers to effectively work with their children. Development is a major contributor to behavioral progress and to constraints on abilities. When we understand and work with development, add caring relationships and environments, and enjoy our work, we will successfully support children in their growth and learning. (Beware. This is pretty darn funny!) All levels of learners will appreciate this workshop. Because the content is principle based, it is applicable for all ages of developing people.

Play Is Not Frivolous…
It enhances brain structure, and function and promotes executive function. Children also discover who they are through play. The materials that we provide for children should be carefully selected to optimize brain development and exploration. We will explore the idea of open-ended play materials for young children that allow them to use their creativity and develop critical thinking skills through the lens of Cas Holman. Cas Holman is an American toy designer. She is known for designing toys that emphasize creativity through unstructured play. A facilitated discussion will follow the two videos Cas Holman: Design for Play episode of Abstract the Art of Design and Identity in Play.

The Importance of Play
In this session, participants will view and analyze video footage that shows children in different play scenarios intending to link play to child development across multiple domains. Participants will be encouraged to share their experience in facilitating play in their early childhood programs and how they have seen play impact child development in their programs. Finally, we will work together to equip each other with practical advocacy strategies that will help participants present the case for play with others (e.g., parents, and other educators) who may be skeptical of its value, particularly when considering the pressure that parents and educators feel regarding academic school readiness.

Integrating Trauma-Informed Fundamentals into a Learning Environment
Stress is normal, but prolonged stress and adversity--especially when not buffered by a caring adult or mentor--can lead to physical and mental health issues and even impact a child's development and ability to learn. This session will highlight a new trauma-informed training from the Office of the California Surgeon General that can help educators and early care providers recognize and respond to the signs of stress and trauma in children and youth. Attendees will receive an overview of the training and how it can be implemented at schools and early care settings. This interactive workshop takes participants through a series of challenging classroom scenarios and the opportunity to practice integrated trauma-informed fundamentals into the learning environement.

Phonological Awareness Is a Superpower: Foundations for Early Literacy in Pre-K/Transitional Kindergarten Through Second Grade
What's the difference between Phonological Awareness and Phonemic Awareness? What is Orthographic Mapping? How can I include engaging, developmentally appropriate, and research-based literacy practices in my Pre-K/TK-2nd grade classroom? In this session, you'll gain a better understanding of these terms and how your knowledge can make a critical difference in your students' literacy development. Students who are delayed in developing Phonological Awareness are at significant risk for reading difficulties. Teachers who understand the developmental progression of Phonological Awareness, incorporate it systematically in their teaching, and involve students in phoneme/grapheme mapping are giving their students the Superpower of Phonemic Awareness. You'll see how Phonological Awareness connects to the Preschool Learning Foundations, Common Core Standards, and the DRDP. This session will also be helpful if you have older students who struggle to read. The presenter will share resources for continued learning like the Early Literacy Panel's report, Developing Early Literacy to ground our work in practices that are evidence-based.

Prioritizing Family Wellness: An Integrated Approach to Early Education
When parents are well, children can thrive. The first three years of a child’s life are a critical stage in their development, yet all too often, families do not have adequate support during these years leading up to school. In this session, we’ll outline the efforts The Primary School is taking to reach children at a critical stage in their development – several years before they enter kindergarten. We will discuss why and how we prioritize and support the wellness and growth of parents alongside the wellness and growth of their children. We’ll outline how we’ve established partnerships to enhance this work and provide holistic support to families. And we’ll share how our collaboration with parents in setting goals for themselves and their children through coaching, information, and referrals to community resources is creating an impact.

Language as Opportunity and Not a Barrier: How We Can Support Multilingual Children Starting at an Early Age
How can classrooms support bilingual learning - if teacher fluency isn’t there? Or when student ability and home languages are so different? When time is so limited, is moderate classroom exposure even impactful? And will it negatively impact English or academics? In this session, we address these commonly asked questions around bilingual learning. We highlight research around the impact of bilingual education early on, share testimonies from teachers, introduce sample lesson plans, and discuss the skill sets that children can develop using Habbi Habbi Bilingual Resources - so that every participant can leave with an idea of how they can incorporate bilingualism into their own classroom or home. This session welcomes anyone remotely interested in the joy that bilingual learning brings - immersion / bilingual / English Learners / or just curious learners. Join us in this interactive presentation to see how children ages 2-7 independently listen to, repeat, read, and practice different languages simultaneously, and how educators across the country are using Habbi Habbi to best support their students’ needs.

Learn the Signs. Act Early.
This Learn the Signs Act Early workshop is to help and encourage participants to celebrate a child's development, early identification, early intervention, and advocacy as key elements while we learn of milestones that are things most typical children can do by a certain age. We will take a deeper look at how to support a child’s ability to co-regulate behaviors during periods of development, strategies to support development, and early signs of milestone indicators. In addition, as caregivers we will reflect for better understanding of our realistic expectations of an individual child’s growth. Exploring how a child plays, learns, speaks, acts, and moves will offer us important clues about each child’s developmental health and well-being. We will gain insight that, if a caregiver ever becomes concerned, we will recognize the level of milestones a child may be reaching and resources to seek support and guidance about what to do. Furthermore, we will gain knowledge of the developmental milestones and domains of children ages 0-3, the impact early identification and intervention have on a child’s ability to learn new skills, ways to provide stable relationships that are socially and emotionally nurturing, age-appropriate, and essential to healthy human development.

A Positive Approach: How Connection, Contribution and Play Can Shift the Way You Work with Children’s Challenging Behaviors
Many educators struggle to find effective tools to address challenging behaviors in the classroom. In this interactive workshop, participants will be introduced to a positive approach that can change the way an adult thinks about a child’s challenging behaviors, while learning effective tools to use right away. Participants will be exposed to the time tested Adlerian theory and how it may be applied in our work with young children. Participants will gain an understanding of how our perceptions, biases and actions invite behaviors from others. Participants will explore the key role connection plays in de-escalating a child's big emotions/behaviors utilizing mirror neurons and correlation. Participants will be encouraged to look at the play environment they provide young children and ways it can be modified to reduce stress for children and adults alike. Participants will learn why social emotional learning is crucial for children (and adults) in ECE settings, and will be encouraged to provide an environment for children that recognizes, supports, and fosters social emotional development.

Authentic and meaningful family engagement is vital to building a classroom community as well as a culturally responsive curriculum. Participants will gain powerful insights into potential barriers families face for engagement within school programs and discuss strategies to support these families. This training will also support participants' understanding of culturally responsive care in the early learning classroom. By respectfully and intentionally incorporating various cultures with the aid of families and communities children can learn to appreciate their own culture and those which differ.

The Power of Songs and Chants in Early Skills Development
Music has always been a way to not only connect with people, but educate them as well. This presentation will detail how songs and chants can teach especially young children various skills in their development: Visual art, physical movement, literacy skills, mathematics, science concepts, and even social-emotional development. Anyone who works with young children will "see and do" a few Mandarin songs and/or chants used and incorporated into their interaction with young children.

D.A.D. Project’s Pillars of Father Engagement!
This workshop is designed for professionals interested in creating strategies to increase father/ male participation in their parent engagement programs. During this workshop The D.A.D Project will share key components to developing and sustaining a successful father/ parent engagement program. The Pillars of Father Engagement are characteristics to consider when beginning or sustaining a father engagement program. Considering the vital role fathers have in the lives of their children it's important for education systems to develop strategies to encourage more father participation in their school or programs. Throughout this workshop participants will have the opportunity to share and develop knowledge, skills, and abilities to begin engaging fathers at your school. The D.A.D Project is currently funded by First 5 LA to champion father engagement programs in South Los Angeles, and we look forward to sharing our success stories as well as some of the barriers we encountered over the years of working with fathers.

I’m a Teacher, NOT a Therapist! Decreasing Overwhelm and Empowering Educators in Serving Students with Trauma Impacts and Neurodiversity
“I’m a teacher, not a therapist!” These words rang out in a team meeting of professionals gathered to determine what the next steps would be for JJ.
I’d heard them so many times. This time, though, I paused… “What did she mean, exactly? – ‘I’m a teacher, not a therapist!’ I need to look deeper, JUST LIKE I DO WITH THE TRAUMATIZED CHILD... What is this teacher really trying to say? Clearly, it was something much deeper: “I haven’t been trained in mental health practices; how can I respond to a mind and body that’s in constant distress?” and “This is not what I expected when I became a teacher; I’m afraid I won’t do this well and I’ll look like a failure!” She felt overwhelmed and underprepared. She found it inconceivable to consider the idea that she, the teacher, might hold potential to serve JJ’s cognitive AND emotional needs in a manner that could be BOTH therapeutic AND appropriate as an educator.
This session provides an actionable response to this legitimate educator concern that is grounded and compassionate, along with frameworks and strategies to equip educators to serve these students in ways that are appropriate and effectively promote healing." Speaker(s): Rick Bowman Doris Bowman

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. New and seasoned educators will learn 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.

Toddlers as Investigators! Making a Shift from Thematic Curriculum to Inquiry- Based Learning: Developing an Emergent Curriculum in Toddler Settings
Emergent curriculum in early childhood is a vital practice for enthusiastic and motivated learners. Toddlers are at a crucial stage in which they are developing their sense of self and learning to navigate their emotional world. When teachers are responsive to children’s interests and ideas, the children develop healthy dispositions and become passionate learners. This workshop will focus on implementing emergent practices with toddlers including the art of listening and observing, developing curriculum which focuses on the toddler’s inquiries, demonstrating the sources of emergent practices, and sharing methods of documentation and assessment. We will also review the definition of emergent curriculum, establish an understanding of its purpose and share examples of objectives, goals, and outcomes through different methods of documentation. Early childhood educators Melissa Pinkham and Julissa Tobias will share their collective experiences in developing and practicing emergent curriculum in toddler settings. This workshop is geared for beginning to intermediate teachers in toddler education.

A Sound and Sounds-Based Foundation for Early Literacy
When children learn to communicate, they naturally learn to perceive and pronounce spoken language. With proper instruction, they easily imitate component sound-units. Although many children learn to spell and read with existing methods, too many fail to become fluent readers. A new method, developed and refined over the past three decades, is now available to help non-readers and struggling readers. The method builds on what children already know – spoken language – and proceeds in a way that is quick, reliable, persistent, and joyful, using your choice of children's literature. We introduce an intuitive framework known as VC Logic (Vowels/Consonants) which includes: a comprehensive collection of sound-units; a simple, clear, and accurate "sound MAP" for naming and organizing those units; and an instructional process called Heard-Said-Spelled-Read (HSSR). HSSR teaches children to hear individual units in spoken language, say sequences of sounds as whole words, spell spoken words – sound-by-sound – with letters, and then read those words they already know how to spell. Readiness reduces anxiety. VC Logic and the HSSR instructional method are supported by textual materials covering philosophy, fundamentals, and instructional sequences, as well as by a new game-like software app called Black Swan Reading.

Brain-Appropriate Practices in the School-Age Settings
The brain plays a central role in teaching and learning processes. "The Brain-Appropriate Practices in the School-Age Settings" workshop is designed to deepen the understanding of caregivers and educators working with school-age children. It emphasizes the importance of integrating contemporary insights into brain function within education. In an era marked by universal preschool, it's crucial to recognize that formal educational environments may not always align with young learners' socio-emotional and neurodevelopmental needs despite accelerated school entry. The workshop examines basic brain principles and developmental milestones, addressing potential discrepancies. Some early educators, driven by rigorous curricula, may sideline pedagogical approaches that support robust brain development, like play-based and hands-on learning for younger students. Educator's grasp of basic brain operations is essential in equipping them with current knowledge and practical strategies tailored to enhance school-age learners' educational journey while shedding light on the intricate mechanisms underpinning brain function in educational contexts. The workshop dispels learning myths and offers a comprehensive overview of six foundational brain-learning principles. It is designed for intermediate learners, fostering a scholarly exploration of brain science and education.

Everything Is Connected: Hands-On Ecology for Young Learners
The first law of ecology is that “everything is related to everything else.” Understanding cause-and-effect connections in nature can help younger students explore how people’s actions shape the Earth’s landscapes and affect ecosystems in our own backyards and across the globe. In this interdisciplinary workshop, participants will engage in activities that introduce concepts of human changes to our environment, such as land use patterns, pollution, and climate change. Presented activities also build skills in scientific inquiry, data analysis and critical thinking, as well as number sense, literacy and elementary geography. The activities in this inquiry-based session will begin with questions such as “How are different species and resources interconnected in a forest?”, “What types of land (biomes) can grow food?” and “What causes air pollution and climate change?” Sensemaking will take place through scientific practice that include simple labs, interactive stories, and modeling simulations. Participants will increase their understanding of basic human ecological concepts and best practices for introducing these concepts in their interdisciplinary elementary classrooms using 3D science instruction for a variety of learning styles. After a brief introduction, the presenter will devote most of the session time to involving participants in the activities, and allowing time for questions.

Joy Through Movement: Developing Healthy Social and Emotional Skills Through Active Play in Preschool and Beyond
Many children and their families experienced isolation during the early part of the pandemic. Current research finds that many preschoolers have developmental delays due to this isolation. Young children have shown difficulty functioning as a member of a group, increased reliance on adults for social support, and a lack of age-appropriate stress management and behavior management skills. As early childhood physical activity professionals, we share our strategies for helping children meet their social-emotional developmental needs through active play. In this session we share physical activities that help children to manage their emotions, behaviors, and stress. Through these group physical activities children learn to work together, begin to develop empathy for others, and to problem solve. They also learn to listen and follow instructions and develop trusting relationships with the adults who care for and play with them. Both children and adults benefit from the joy of movement when they are engaged in active play together. Many of these activities can be played in small indoor spaces as well as outdoors. They require little equipment and are easy to lead, even for providers with no experience leading physical activities. This is a hands-on session with ideas you can use on Monday.

Using Technology for Learning, Reflection and Documentation in a Preschool/TK Setting
This workshop offers step-by-step strategies for technology integration and showcases various examples of how digital tools have been used for storytelling, photography, bookmaking, song-making, and filmmaking as well as reflection and documentation by young & adult learners in an early childhood setting. It’s targeted at early childhood educators considering the use of technology for the first time and for more experienced educators/administrators who would like to deepen their understanding of the positive role of technology. A cornerstone of the presenter’s work is this position statement by NAEYC and the Fred Rogers Center (2012): - Technology and interactive media promote effective learning and development when used within the framework of developmentally appropriate practice. - Effective uses of technology are active, hands-on, engaging, empowering, and should be playful, support creativity, exploration, pretend and active play, and outdoor activities. - Technology helps build stronger relationships with parents and enhances family engagement. Our classrooms need to reflect the ever-evolving world. Presenters will illustrate how to leverage technology to create a robust learning environment that supports active learning, offers entry points for different kinds of learners, enhances the classroom curriculum, and fosters collaborative inquiry projects. They will also offer suggestions on how to avoid
