Children’s Lively Minds: Life-Changing Professional Development for Early Educators, by Nadia Jaboneta and Deb Curtis

Sponsored by Redleaf Press.

Join Nadia Jaboneta and Deb Curtis as they share stories and approaches that transform teachers’ views of children’s competence and the profound importance of brain development and schema explorations during play. You will hear engaging ideas to work with teachers, using a variety of reflective tools and profound yet simple information, to help teachers really see children of all ages, and the roles they can play to enhance the teaching and learning process.

Ideas we will explore in this presentation:

• Supporting teachers to be researchers of their own practice.

• Seeing children’s abilities; including children’s scientific minds, schema explorations, and the active play/brain connection.

• Studying how children seek what they benefit from.

• Using structures for openness that support reflective practice including side by side observations, communities of practice and thinking protocols for reflection and planning.

While this session is open to all, it will be ideal for professional development providers, trainers, supervisors, and administrators who want to learn how to best support teachers in their practice with young children.

All sessions are 1.5 hours long, and include a brief announcement from our sponsor. Certificates of Attendance and CEUs are available.

2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
