Keynote Speech
Every Child, Every Chance: Reimagining What’s Possible with Taylor Passmore, MSEd.
A discussion of how and why positive assumptions and quality interactions from every early childhood professional makes lasting impact on every child. Let’s wonder together!
Workshop Options
Building Big Feelings in Little Ones: Supporting Emotional Literacy with Infants and Toddlers
Discover how to turn everyday moments into powerful opportunities for emotional growth. This engaging session will equip you with simple, effective strategies to help infants and toddlers recognize, express, and manage their feelings. Learn how responsive interactions and thoughtful environments can build a strong foundation for emotional resilience. Walk away with practical tools to nurture big hearts in the littlest learners!
Exercising Whole Leadership: A Matter of Interdependence
To create the conditions that are most likely to sustain and improve organizational quality, the leadership that resides within an early care and education program must demonstrate all three of the whole leadership domains (leadership essentials, administrative leadership, and pedagogical leadership). This session explores participant leadership journeys related to the Whole Leadership Framework while also providing an overview of each domain. Participants will learn how to increase staff use and implementation of organizational practices by focusing on a method that taps into the interdependence of the domains.
Prepping for Your Summer Program
In this workshop we will explore the basics of summer programming. Whether you are new to summer programming or are seasoned staff in need of a few reminders or new ideas we have you covered. We will explore the importance of summer programming and discuss essential policies and procedures that administered staff should have in place. We will also discuss how to navigate RI DHS regulation compliance and safety. We will also cover group management strategies, how to implement youth choice, program structure and curriculum ideas that will keep the “summer fun” while supporting learning. There will be lots of opportunities to share ideas, collaborate and ask questions!
Supporting Language and Literacy Development for All Learners
In this workshop we will explore Oral Language Development, The Science of Reading, and how to support Multilingual Learners. We will demonstrate how early success in language development lays the foundation for future academic learning including literacy development. We will unpack the meaning of the Science of Reading and how to best support Multilingual learners in the classroom.
Understanding Autism in The Young Child
Autism impacts all aspects of a child’s development. Participants will learn more about the underlying challenges of autism and the role it plays in their classroom behavior and learning. This foundational knowledge of autism will lead professionals to see the child’s challenges through the lens of autistic neurology rather than “intentional behavior.” This workshop will be presented by Cheryl Cotter of Educational Consulting.
Using Picture Books to Support Social and Emotional Learning
Children’s books are an amazing resource for teachers in the early childhood field! Not only are they FREE at your local library, but they can also be used to teach all of the Rhode Island Early Learning and Development Standards (RIELDS). This workshop will focus on how participants can choose and use high-quality picture books to support the social and emotional development of children ages 3-5. Participants will leave with a list of amazing books, and practical strategies for how to use them! This workshop is designed for educators and support staff working in preschool classrooms.
