SUMMARY:Measuring the Quality of Nature-Based Classrooms Using the NABERS Tool
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rachel Larimore\, Ph.D.\, Chief Visionary\, Samara Early Learning; Patti Bailie\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor of Early Childhood Education\, University of Maine at Farmington; and Arianna Pikus\, M.S.\, Doctoral Candidate\, Department of Human Development and Family Studies\, Michigan State University\nModerated by Jennifer Lewis\, President\, Gryphon House\, Inc. \nSponsored by Gryphon House \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nNature-based education is a rapidly growing approach in early childhood. The Nature-Based Education Rating Scale (NABERS) is a tool developed to help identify the quality and level of “natureness” for those PreK and K-3 programs adding nature to their curricula. This edWebinar first identifies the core principles of Nature-based Early Childhood Education (NbECE) and then discusses tangible measures of quality. Viewers leave the session able to identify nature-based practices in the program structure\, staffing\, physical environment\, community partnerships\, and family engagement. \nWhile other measures of quality exist in early childhood education (e.g.\, ECERS\, CLASS) this is the first tool to specifically address the features of nature-based education. NbECE is considered the blending of early childhood and environmental education and the NABERS tool focuses specifically on the overlap between these two disciplines. That is\, NABERS does not address measures of quality related to early childhood in general\, but rather those practices specific to the nature-based approach. For example\, family engagement is important whether a program is nature based or not. Thus\, NABERS only addresses aspects specific to family engagement such as family education related to the benefits of nature-based learning. \nView this edWebinar to learn how to: \n\nIdentify the core principles of a nature-based early childhood approach\nDescribe quality nature-based practices related to program structure\, staffing\, physical environment setup\, and family engagement\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-3 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nRachel A. Larimore\, Ph.D. is an educator\, consultant\, speaker\, researcher\, and author. Her work focuses on the intentional integration of nature to support young children’s holistic development by learning with nature to expand their worlds and live rich\, full lives. She has written multiple books including Establishing a Nature-Based Preschool; Preschool Beyond Walls: Blending Early Childhood Education and Nature-Based Learning; and the forthcoming Evaluating Natureness: Measuring the Quality of Nature-Based Classrooms in Pre-K Through 3rd Grade. Dr. Larimore is the founder and Chief Visionary of Samara Early Learning\, an organization focused on helping early childhood educators start nature-based schools or add nature-based approaches into their existing programs. Prior to founding Samara\, she spent more than a decade starting and directing one of the first nature-based preschools in the United States. \n\nPatti Bailie\, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Early Childhood Education at the University of Maine at Farmington. She has worked in the field of early childhood environmental education for 30 years at three different nature centers: as founding Director of the Schlitz Audubon Nature Preschool in Milwaukee\, WI\, Co-Director of the Early Childhood Outdoors Institute at the Fontenelle Nature Association in Omaha\, NE\, and an early childhood environmental educator at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes in Cleveland\, OH.

In helping all students master the foundational literacy skills they’ll need to have successful lives\, it is imperative educators use the resources and processes within their “tool kits” to support English learners. One of those resources is a sound wall\, and while many educators understand how and why to use a sound wall\, supporting English learners requires additional skill and knowledge. \nThis edWebinar shares valuable information about using sound walls in reading instruction with English learners. The presenters\, both experienced educators\, explore the process of using a sound wall in helping non-English speaking students first develop essential skills in the areas of alphabet knowledge\, phonological awareness\, print knowledge\, and decoding—skills that English learners need to form the critical foundation for learning to read. Viewers learn: \n\nHow sound walls can provide additional support for the English learner\nNew ways teachers can identify spelling confusions—and instruct accordingly\nWhat a Spanish sound wall might include\nWays to include vocabulary as you teach using a sound wall\n\nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-5 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nAs VP of Professional Learning and Academics for 95 Percent Group\, Dr. Antonio Fierro is able to apply his many years in the classroom and as a literacy expert to helping schools and districts teach reading to every student\, regardless of previous experience or native language.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kim Carlton\, Academic Officer\, Teacher Created Materials \nSponsored by Teacher Created Materials \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nA summer school or after-school learning program can be structured to accomplish multiple goals: close gaps\, prevent slides\, give students fun and memorable experiences\, and prepare students for the next year. Since the pandemic learning interruption\, summer- and after-school learning programs have never been bigger or more important. \nOften students who attend summer- or after-school programs have a range of academic and social needs from literacy and mathematics to social-emotional skills. Research shows that students benefit from attending extended school programs\, especially those from low-income backgrounds. As campuses and districts consider their summer- and after-school learning options\, it is important to make the best use of student time and support those adults who will be working with those students. In this edWebinar\, we look at three research-based practices to consider when designing these unique learning windows: \n\nLearn how to use short\, complex texts to support texts to support literacy\nEngage students with collaborative and real-world learning experiences\nBuild background knowledge and experiences\n\nBuild and refine your summer- and after-school learning to maximize learning and keep students coming back. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nKim Carlton currently serves as a Senior Academic Officer for Teacher Created Materials. She works with teachers and districts all over the country to infuse reading and writing instruction into daily instruction. She has partnered with districts around the country to design summer learning programs and resources. She is a contributing author to Shell Education’s What the Science of Reading Says About Writing.
