Where: Zoom [Link sent after registration]
For Who: Any Early Childhood Educator in MD
What: Stories have the ability to provide concurrent opportunities for social-emotional, character, and standards-based learning. But with the full schedule that teachers carry, who has time to find and prepare stories for the classroom? Join us for this professional development session in which we’ll both explore ways to find stories that fit our classrooms, content areas, students, and lives and work through strategies to bring these stories to students in meaningful ways. Together we’ll create personal inventories unique to you and your class needs; brainstorm subjects of interest and their associated genres; and select stories that fit your instructional strategies. We’ll also have fun exploring the characters in the stories you choose and utilizing audience participation strategies that you can bring back to your classroom to plan active engagement lessons.
Goal: When this course is completed, participants will have engaged in a dynamic arts-integration setting focusing on tools and techniques to support the use of storytelling skills in the classroom for both social emotional and content learning, then considered the encounters to make plans for incorporating their expertise in their early childhood learning settings.
