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.

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.

Gender, Expectations, and Social-Emotional Development in Early Childhood Programs
2022-12-15 11:00 - 12:30 | Webinar
Gender, Expectations, and Social-Emotional Development in Early Childhood Programs
What does it mean to be a boy or a girl–or something else? How do we support children to love their gender, and to talk about what can feel restricting or harmful about it? As early educators how do our own experience of and education about gender impact our ability to support gender diversity and healthy social-emotional development in our classrooms?
In this eye-opening webinar, participants will learn about the importance of creating gender inclusive early learning environments and the concrete actions they can take to create environments that support all children’s healthy gender development. The presenters will guide you to reflect on you own gender identity, expression, and embodiment and how your perception of gender impacts your expectations of children. You will learn about the impact of strict gender roles and stereotypes on young children and adults. The constellation theory of gender development will be introduced as a more inclusive understanding of gender that is big enough for us all.
Presented by some of the authors of Supporting Gender Diversity in Early Childhood Classrooms: A Practical Guide, this webinar will share concrete action steps early childhood professionals can take to create early learning environments that support children of all genders to help them build a foundation of positive self-esteem and prosocial development. The presenters will share authentic stories that will bring to life how early learning teachers committed to gender justice are supporting children’s healthy gender development through play, gender inclusive classroom materials including children’s literature, and through their communication with parents and families. You will leave with a greater awareness of how to respond to gender-based segregation, exclusion, teasing and stereotyping, as well as how to create inclusive, reflective, and responsive school/program communities where all children are supported in their authentic gender selves.
After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:

Define the gender binary and identify its limitations.
Recognize how gender diversity impacts social-emotional development during the early childhood years.
Identify at least three strategies you can use to create gender-inclusive early learning settings for children and families.

All sessions are 1.5 hours long and include a brief announcement from our sponsor.
