SUMMARY:Preschool Beyond Walls: Integrating Nature into the Preschool Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel A. Larimore\, Owner\, Samara Early Learning\, LLC\nSponsored by Gryphon House \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nWith a growing awareness of the benefits of outdoor play\, it seems everywhere one turns there is talk of children and nature. One particular approach that is receiving a lot of attention is nature-based or forest preschools. While the number of nature-based preschools is increasing\, there are more young children needing experiences with nature than these programs can provide. At the same time\, many early childhood educators who understand the value of outdoor experiences find themselves in a traditional setting unsure of how to meaningfully integrate nature into their programs. \nThis recorded edWebinar will help early childhood providers\, no matter their situation\, consider the principles fundamental to a nature-based approach and integrate those principles into teaching practice. These high-quality nature-based early childhood education (NbECE) practices don’t happen overnight\, but rather occur through daily programmatic and teaching decisions. Using a continuum of NbECE as the overarching framework\, Rachel Larimore provides concrete ways to better integrate nature into your program structure\, physical environment (inside and outside)\, and teacher-child interactions. \nViewers will leave the edWebinar with tangible ideas that can be implemented the next day as well as some ideas can be worked toward into the future. This recorded presentation will be of interest to preK-3 teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders. \nAbout the Presenter \nRachel is the founder of Samara Early Learning\, a consulting business focused on supporting early childhood professionals in implementing nature-based administrative and pedagogical practices. Prior to this\, she worked for 15 years as the director of education at Chippewa Nature Center (CNC) in Midland\, MI. In 2007\, in this role\, she developed the Nature Preschool at CNC and implemented the on-the-ground work to bring it to reality. She continued as the founding director of the program until 2016 when\, at her departure\, the program served 140 children each year through public and private funding sources. Rachel is also pursuing a PhD in curriculum\, instruction\, and teacher education at Michigan State University. Rachel is the author of Establishing a Nature-Based Preschool\, focused on program administration\, and Preschool Beyond Walls: Blending Early Learning Childhood Education and Nature-Based Learning\, which focuses on integrating nature-based practices into the preschool classroom. \n \nJoin the Early Learning Book Chats community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n\nGryphon House\, Inc. is an award-winning publisher of early childhood resources for teachers and parents.

SUMMARY:Supporting Preschoolers’ Social and Emotional Development Through Music and Movement Activities
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz\, Director of Research\, Music Together Worldwide\, and Professor Emeritus\, Rowan University\nSponsored by Music Together \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nHealthy social-emotional skills in early childhood can have a profound impact on a child’s overall development and learning. In fact\, many early childhood experts see positive social skills as the most important factor for school readiness and later school success. Developmentally appropriate\, participatory\, group and dyad music and movement activities have special characteristics that not only support young children as they develop socially and emotionally but also support group cohesion in the classroom. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz introduces participants to the important dimensions of social and emotional development and demonstrate fun and accessible songs and other music activities that support a range of social and emotional skills\, including self-regulation\, self-confidence\, leadership\, social competence\, and emotional intelligence. You’ll leave this edWebinar with a deeper understanding of the ways in which music can naturally support children’s social and emotional development in the preschool years! \nThis recorded presentation will be of interest to educators working with toddlers\, preschoolers\, and kindergartners.\n  \nAbout the Presenter \nLili M. Levinowitz\, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus of Music Education at Rowan University. She is the coauthor of the early childhood music and movement program\, Music Together\, and Director of Research for Music Together Worldwide. Dr. Levinowitz is considered a national authority on early childhood music and is actively involved in teaching very young children as well as graduate students. Her articles appear frequently in professional journals and popular magazines. She received her M.M. and Ph.D. from Temple University\, and her B.M. from Westminster Choir College. \nJoin the Music in Early Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n At Music Together\, we understand the importance of music in early childhood—from birth\, in fact. 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.

This two-part series of edWebinars highlights fractions in our everyday lives. The January session focused on time and money\, while the February session will focus on sharing and scaling. \nDiscounts and price increases. Sharing with friends. Scaling art up and down. Each of these situations is an opportunity to apply and understand fractions. In this session\, Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, Director of Professional Learning at ORIGO Education\, will explore these connections\, including some of the challenges students face and the learning opportunities they provide. Join Sara to explore a variety of models and strategies to help students connect fractions with sharing and scaling. \nThis session will be of particular benefit to elementary level teachers and school leaders.

This edWebinar provides: \n\nBackground on learning\, motivation\, and research for using games and gamification\nExplanation and examples of gaming to support learning\nStrategies\, examples\, and opportunities for gamification to support teaching and learning\n\nThe topics of games and gamification in learning\, of which individuals engaged in teaching and learning should be aware\, have persistently been cited as important or cutting-edge. Games and gaming are distinguished by their specific original purposes of entertainment; however\, serious games\, which are most akin to simulations\, are designed to educate first. Most recently\, gamification applies game design elements\, particularly those engendering motivation\, to non-game processes like courses and instructional units.  \nViewers will be introduced to games and gamification and receive numerous practical examples to try in their own settings or inspire changes to existing lessons. This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preservice teachers.  \n  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Michael M. Grant is Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina and coordinator for the educational technology programs. His research considers three areas: the design and development of technology-enhanced learning environments\, graphic and instructional designs to support learning\, and key learner characteristics.
