This interactive workshop helps participants analyze the level of structure in their programs and practice identifying and maintaining clear limits. Appropriate structure and clear limits can provide stability\, predictability\, and organization for youth—a safe and productive space for learning! \nLearn more and register on the Allegheny Partners for Out-of-School Time (APOST) website.

SUMMARY:Everyday Interactions Matter: Deep and Simple in School Age Care
DESCRIPTION:Child care providers in Allegheny County may participate in a seven-hour course\, “Everyday Interactions Matter: Deep and Simple in School Age Care.” \nSessions will take place via Zoom on Wednesday evenings from October 26 to November 9\, at 6:30 – 8 p.m.  Additional self-paced homework will be assigned via Schoology. \nThe cost is $35. Registration is available on the Trying Together website. \nCourse Description\nThe primary ingredient of quality in school age settings begins with the “everyday interactions” between educators and children. These simple and ordinary moments that take place during play\, transition\, and daily routines form the foundation for learning and growth.   \nIn this three-week course\, school-age learning professionals will engage with the Everyday Interactions Matter approach through a process of careful observation\, discussion\, and self-reflection. Educators will evaluate the impact their ordinary interactions have on child development and the overall quality of programming in their learning communities.  Course experiences offer school-age educators the chance to cultivate professional self-awareness and community building.  Through the Everyday Interactions Matter approach\, educators recognize powerful moments of connecting\, sharing\, learning\, and belonging in their everyday interactions with school age children. \nMore Information\nFor questions about the course or credit\, contact Allison Hritz at allison@tryingtogether.org. \nAbout Everyday Interactions Matter\nEveryday Interactions Matter (EIM) is a professional development initiative designed to help early childhood educators learn and grow from their own practice. Through a strengths-based process of observation\, discussion\, and reflection\, educators take a close look at the everyday moments they share with children. Video footage of adult-child interactions serves as the raw material for facilitating professional growth.
