October Teacher Training, PM Session
2019-10-18 12:30 - 15:30 | Grand Gym, 21 N Grand St, Eugene, OR, United States
October 18th is our Teacher Meeting day in the Whiteaker gym. The AM session is from 8:30-11:30 for Regions 3, 4, 6, 8, & 9. The PM session is from 12:30-3:30 for Regions 1, 2, 5, & 7. We are covering several topics this month including maternal depression, support for immigrant families, new policies and program goals, and early childhood math skills.

The Wellness Team meets between the AM and PM sessions in Whiteaker room 7 and all staff are welcome. The Wellness team meetings are brown bag since they fall over the lunch break. Meetings can include a wellness activity, information sharing, and/or wellness planning for the year. Please contact Jean Sperry if you have questions.

During the teacher meeting staff consultation is also available for caseload debriefing with Sacia Stiles de Andrade from Options Counseling in room 4A. Not sure what you might use staff consultation for? Here are some examples:
Talking with a counselor about how to self-regulate during challenging situations with children and families,
debriefing challenges of working with children or families who have complex needs,
or perhaps you’re simply feeling overwhelmed or anxious about work and you want to talk about how to manage those feelings so you can be your best self for the children and families you work with.

There are several 30 min. time slots available for the October meeting. If you would like to sign up for a time slot for yourself or for you and your teaching partner together, please email me those requests separately.

Planned Language Approach: Focus on Phonological Awareness
2019-05-16 12:00 - 13:00 | Webinar
Register Online Now!
Join the series to learn strategies for implementing the Planned Language Approach’s (PLA) Big 5 for ALL. The PLA is a comprehensive, systemic, research-based way for Head Start and Early Head Start programs to ensure optimal language and literacy services for children who speak English and for children who are dual language learners (DLLs). Children need high-quality experiences in each of the Big 5: Background Knowledge; Oral Language and Vocabulary; Book Knowledge and Print Concepts; Alphabet Knowledge and Early Writing; and Phonological Awareness.
This final webinar in the five-part series focuses on phonological awareness. It is children’s ability to focus on and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. Children develop phonological awareness as they learn to recognize that language can be broken into words, syllables, and smaller sounds. Learn how to promote phonological awareness for all children in your programs.
Topics for the webinar include:

Research about phonological awareness
The development trajectory for these skills in children ages birth to 5
Strategies to support phonological awareness for children who are DLLs
Connections between phonological awareness, PLA, coordinated approaches, and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework

Target Audience

Head Start, Early Head Start, Migrant and Seasonal Head Start, and child care program leaders and education staff
Center-based, family child care, public pre-K, and home visiting programs
Early childhood specialists
Regional T/TA staff
