Prerequisite: Phase I and II of Play and Exploration or comparable learning and experience working in early learning settings.

Based on a foundation of the vision and principles in Play and Exploration: Early Learning Program Guide, Responding to Children’s Interests will provide educators with opportunities to explore classroom practices to spark student interest and to build projects around invitations and play. This workshop was created in partnership with the Early Years Branch of the Ministry of Education. This is a series of 6 synchronous and asynchronous online sessions, designed to provide support for early learning educators as they engage in planning and implementing a class project with their students. Sample projects can be found at https://www.stf.sk.ca/professional-resources/stf-professional-learning/curriculum-resources/responding-childrens/

Participants will:

  • Build understanding about emergent curriculum for young children.
  • Explore the environment as the third teacher.
  • Strengthen educators’ capacity to observe, listen, document and reflect in order to support and scaffold learning.
  • Respond to children’s interests and develop a project experience with children, which may be shared on the STF website.

Audience:

PreK-Grade 2 educators, childcare and other early learning educators

See prerequisites above.
