Exploring Equity to Support Children and Families Series

Three part series:
Jan 10, 2023 09:00 AM
Feb 14, 2023 09:00 AM
Mar 14, 2023 09:00 AM

Head Start and Early Head Start staff are uniquely positioned to partner with families in navigating the obstacles of poverty while prioritizing equity. Through trusting and positive relationships between families and staff, families can gain increased access to resources, enhance their well-being, and support their journeys toward economic mobility.
In this 3-part series, we will focus on the OHS Priority of Advancing Equity by identifying and reducing systemic barriers for historically underserved and marginalized populations.
Training Objectives:
• Increase knowledge and awareness of historical inequities and the relationship between
equity and family well-being.
• Discuss the assumptions and biases associated with poverty and identify strategies to
support strengths-based attitudes when working with families experiencing economic
hardships.
• Explore relationship-based practice

Rooted in Relationships: Effective Interactions with Infants and Toddlers
January 19th at 10:00am
Infants and toddlers learn best in environments where they have trusting relationships with caring and responsive adults, where they feel safe, comfortable, and welcome to explore and learn. Adults in children’s lives nurture these early roots of relationship through co-regulation, supporting the child’s developing self-regulation, and serve-and return interactions. Join this session to engage in dialogue with your peers to learn and discover strategies for supporting Early Head Start staff in forming rooted relationships with all infants and toddlers.

Magic Moments: Active Problem Solving with Young Children
February 8, 2023 from 11:00am – 12:30pm
Register Here
Every problem, large or small, is an opportunity for young children to learn and grow. From spilled glue to a conflict in the block corner, problems are an unlimited natural resource generated inside our own classrooms. This insight-building webinar, presented by author and inspirational speaker, Ann Gadzikowski, will explore how early childhood educators can take the problems, mistakes, and accidents that inevitably occur in every early childhood program, and turn them into teachable moments.
We’ll also shine a light on what children learn along the way: the social skills, emotional intelligence, language and communication skills, and STEM concepts that children learn as they participate in an authentic, meaningful problem-solving process. This conversation will approach problem solving with an anti-bias lens, taking into account children’s (and our own) family and community contexts as essential influences on how we view and solve problems together.
Join this free webinar to:

Recognize the importance of mistakes, conflicts, accidents, and problems as opportunities for learning in an early childhood classroom. Discuss scenarios demonstrating common problems that happen during the daily routines of an early childhood classroom, such as snacks, naps, play, and transitions.
Develop strategies for facilitating a problem-solving process with young children, such as asking open-ended questions and offering prompts (“Tell me what you think about that.”)
Explore how issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion influence how we, as educators, view, define, and facilitate problems with children.
