DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ruth Hanford Morhard\, President\, Ruth Reid & Company Consultants in Early Childhood\nSponsored by Kaplan Early Learning Company \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nStudies show boys are falling behind in early learning environments. In this webinar\, Ruth Hanford Morhard looked at why based on the latest brain research. She outlined how today’s early childhood classrooms are failing boys and offered simple boy-friendly strategies to improve boys’ learning and behavior in and out of the classroom. \nBoys’ brains differ from girls’ in many ways that affect learning. Understanding how boys’ brains work is essential to helping them perform at their best. As an example\, many teachers expect boys to sit still and listen. It’s easier for girls and it’s more difficult for boys. Their brains are wired for movement. They learn best when they’re physically\, as well as mentally engaged. \nIn this webinar\, attendees gained insight into what makes boys tick and how they can incorporate the boy-friendly strategies that help boys do and be their best. The overall goal is to create positive environments in which boys\, girls\, teachers and parents all benefit. \nJoin the Classroom Management for Early Learning community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \n  \nRuth Hanford Morhard is the author of Wired to Move: Facts and Strategies for Nurturing Boys in an Early Childhood Setting.

SUMMARY:The Impact of Trauma on Growth and Development
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Barbara Sorrels Ed. D.\, Executive Director\, The Institute for Childhood Education\nSponsored by Gryphon House \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nIn our current culture of accountability and standardization\, the learning struggles of young children are typically attributed to the need for more rigorous standards\, more accountability\, a different curriculum\, or more “highly qualified teachers.” The premise of this webinar is that one of the primary reasons a child isn’t learning is due to the experience of trauma in the first five years of life. We live in a child illiterate culture and the developmental needs of children have been compromised due to the many forms of trauma experienced by more than half of children. \nIn this recording viewers will: \n\nLearn the definition of trauma and the many types of adverse experiences of the majority of children. The most toxic form of trauma is to suffer harm at the hands of those who are supposed to love and protect\, putting the child in an impossible psychological dilemma.\nRecognize the characteristics of children who have been exposed to trauma. Trauma and loss in the earliest years of life changes children from the inside out. Many are diagnosed with ADD\, ADHD or oppositional defiant disorder when the root of the issue is trauma.\nDescribe the multi-system failure that is the signature of trauma. Trauma results in the failure of the attachment\, regulatory\, social\, sensory processing and learning systems.\nUnderstand the impact of trauma on learning. It is not that the child won’t learn – it is that the child can’t learn.\n\nThis webinar will give teachers and caregivers a different lens through which to look at children’s struggles in the classroom. \nJoin the Early Learning Book Chats community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \n  \nDr. Barbara Sorrels’ passion for children at risk began as a teenager growing up in Washington D.C. during the 60’s. Her involvement with inner city programs for children sparked her desire to understand how growing up in adverse circumstances impacts healthy development. Committed to providing the most up-to-date research available\, she brings insight into the impact of trauma on children’s growth and development\, and provides practical strategies for childcare providers\, teachers and parents on how to create healing environments for vulnerable children in her book\, Reaching and Teaching Children Exposed to Trauma. \nShe is currently the Executive Director of the Institute for Childhood Education\, a private consulting firm that provides resources and professional development to state agencies\, school districts\, child care centers\, and parents. Over the last 40 years she has worked in the field of early childhood education in a variety of capacities: classroom teacher\, founder and director of two early childhood centers\, university professor\, consultant and parent educator. She holds a B.A. in early childhood education from the University of Maryland; a master’s degree in religious education from Southwestern Seminary; and a doctorate in early childhood from Oklahoma State University. \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING \nA CE certificate will be emailed to live attendees within 24 hours of the live event.\nIf you miss the live session\, a link to view the recording will be sent within 24 hours of the live event. \n \n  \nGryphon House\, Inc. is an award-winning publisher of early childhood resources for teachers and parents. \n  \nSaveSave

SUMMARY:Collaboration and School Culture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Cheri Sterman\, Crayola Director of Education\nSponsored by Crayola \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nCollaboration is a 21st century skill. Working together towards a common goal and valuing the contributions of each team member is key within every learning community. Students and faculty benefit when thinking about how to compromise\, resolve conflict\, and reach consensus. Project-based learning that includes collaborative art experiences\, build these skills. Faculty members\, as well as students\, leverage the strengths of the full learning community when they share ideas\, respect diverse points-of-view\, and overcome interpersonal challenges. Participants received a creative collaboration cultural assessment tool and see how “drawing the culture” can reveal insights. They discussed the “culture continuum” and how to nurture a more collaborative\, creative school culture. They shared promising practices from innovative schools where creative collaboration occurs both within the school and broader community. \nLearning outcomes: \n\nGain a deeper understanding of why collaboration is a 21st century skill and how to foster a stronger creative\, collaborative school culture.\nUse art sketches and a collaborative assessment tool to consider how to transform your school.\nBe inspired by innovative schools who nurture creative collaboration within the school and with the broader community.\n\nSpecial Invitation: As special recognition\, educators who share their art based on this webinar\, after the live broadcast\, will receive a complimentary gift from Crayola. Fifty members of the Champion Creativity community who upload their art to the Discussion Forum\, “Collaboration and School Culture\,” will be chosen to receive 24 boxes of 8 ct. Crayola Twistable Crayons. The Discussion Forum is only accessible to members of the Champion Creativity community and the deadline to upload your work is October 27\, 2015. While we’d love to see your “school culture” artwork—wherever you live\, shipping this gift is only applicable for members in the U.S. and Canada. \nJoin the Champion Creativity community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \nCheri Sterman has worked with thousands of educators across the country\, helping them transform the culture into more creative collaborative schools. Cheri has found that using art as a metaphor for relationships can often spark conversations that otherwise might not have occurred. She has presented this self-reflection workshop to diverse groups of educators—including principals\, superintendents\, school board members\, art teachers\, and classroom teachers—each coming away with a passion for improving their school culture and a sense of how to do that. A principal recently gave a rave review of Cheri’s workshop: “Professional Development can’t treat teachers like empty vessels to be filled. Cheri’s workshops extract wonderful insights from teachers and the discussions get to the heart of best practices. She taps into the powerful insight that the way teachers teach has more to do with how they feel than what they know. Her essential questions and reflective prompts helped our school become a more collaborative\, creative place to teach and learn.” \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING \nA CE certificate will be emailed to live attendees within 24 hours of the live event.\nIf you miss the live session\, a link to view the recording will be sent within 24 hours of the live event. \n \n  \nArt-infused education builds 21st Century skills.
