Today\, more students are choosing to travel and study internationally to encounter new cultural experiences first-hand. It is essential that we teach them how to effectively communicate with their peers in different countries and from different cultures. \nIn this recorded webinar\, learn from two students who engaged with the free Generation Global program during their high school years\, and have continued to stay involved with the program into their post-secondary education as student moderators. Scott Chua is native to the Philippines and currently attends college in Singapore and Hailey Lister is a college student in Los Angeles. Scott and Hailey shared how their Generation Global experiences have made them more effective in global communication\, understanding and embracing differences\, and navigating cultural diversity in real-world situations. They highlighted their most memorable and impactful experiences from video-conferencing and chatting with students virtually\, and the lasting impact the global experience has had on their lives. They also shared personal stories on how dialogue\, understanding\, and connecting with peers across the globe has helped them become better global citizens\, more active listeners\, and improved critical thinkers. \nWatch to learn: \n\nHow cultural dialogue can impact your students far beyond high school\nHow to integrate dialogue and understanding into your existing lessons to elevate your students’ critical thinking and active listening skills\nHow dialogue can break down cultural barriers and personal stereotypes to help your students see that their peers living across the world face similar challenges\, have similar interests\, and that we aren’t so different after all.\n\nNot only will these dialogue skills better prepare your students for work and life beyond school\, but they will allow them to successfully navigate the difficult conversations and differences they will encounter when interacting with students of a different culture\, both domestically and abroad. This webinar is designed for middle and high school educators (especially those teaching social studies\, history\, civics and ELA) as well as library/media specialists\, and district and building administrators. \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Ian Jamison is the Head of Education for Generation Global.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Classroom Containers
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Sandra Duncan\, Adjunct Professor\, Nova Southeastern University\nSponsored by Gryphon House \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the webinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Early Learning Book Chats community and go to the Webinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nContainers are essential components to any early childhood classroom. Available in many sizes\, shapes\, and colors\, containers are used to store\, hold\, and tote a variety of learning materials and supplies. They are so commonplace in our classroom environments that rarely a second thought is given to them\, especially after being placed on the shelf. Think about your classroom for a moment and consider all the containers in your space. Most likely\, your thoughts immediately focused on the bins and baskets positioned on the classroom’s shelves and tabletops. Containers\, however\, are much more than bins and baskets. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Sandra Duncan explored why the primary job of containers in the classroom is not to hold learning materials and objects but to spark children’s interest and engagement with the containers’ contents. She demonstrated the 4 C’s of container selection in detail: \n• Select containers that CAPTURE children’s attention\n• Select containers that are CONVENIENT\n• Select containers that CONNECT children to the activities\n• Use CHILD-CREATED containers in the early childhood classroom \nSandra also discussed the disadvantages of using plastic containers\, measuring the amount of plastic used\, and how to make a plan for reducing the number of plastic baskets in each learner’s classroom. She followed with ideas for alternative types of containers that can be easily used in the classroom regardless of the age group taught. \nThis webinar is designed to help you begin thinking about containers from a unique perspective. Watch for guidelines\, inspiration\, and ways to get started with better container selection. This session is designed for preschool teachers\, but educators working with slightly older children will also benefit from what was shared. \nDr. Sandra Duncan is an Adjunct Professor at Nova Southeastern University. She has over 45 years of experience in the early care and education field. Sandra taught kindergarten for 10 years and owned 11 early childhood programs that served thousands of children. She is the co-Author of Inspiring Spaces for Young Children\, Rating Observation Scale for Inspiring Spaces (ROSIE)\, and Rethinking the Classroom Landscape: Creating Environments that Connect Young Children\, Families\, and Communities. She also was the publisher of two magazines\, where she spearheaded many innovative projects and programs such as Director’s Choice Awards\, Leadership Awards for National Association for Family Child Care\, Early Childhood Professional Awards\, Children’s World of Reading Program\, and Food\, Fitness and Fun!—a program endorsed by National Head Start Association. \nJoin the Early Learning Book Chats community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming webinars\, view past webinars\, take a quiz to receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and access free resources. \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nGryphon House\, Inc. is an award-winning publisher of early childhood resources for teachers and parents.

Because the truth is\, most people are born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when they are adults\, if they choose. But first we must learn how to “speak music”—to take the musical instrument we all have\, ourselves\, developing that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make\, our movements\, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of early childhood learning. And that’s what Music Together is all about.
