SUMMARY:Everyday Interactions Matter: Deep and Simple Relating in Early Learning Programs
DESCRIPTION:The primary ingredient of quality in early learning settings begins with the everyday interactions we share with one another. These simple and ordinary moments that take place during daily routines form the foundation for connection\, learning\, and growing for young children and adults alike. \nThroughout the “Deep and Simple Relating in Early Learning Programs” series\, Allegheny County early learning professionals will engage with the Everyday Interactions Matter (EIM) approach through a process of careful observation\, discussion\, and self-reflection. \nEIM is designed to support early learning professionals\, including owners\, directors\, and educators\, in examining the everyday moments that make up their days and sharing elements of their practice with peers. Through this strengths-based process\, professionals can recognize and build upon powerful moments of connection\, sharing\, growing\, and belonging in everyday interactions. \nThis event series is being offered to Allegheny County providers only. \nSession Details: \nDate and Time: Mondays\, September 11 – October 16 | 6 – 7:15 p.m. \nWhere: All sessions are virtual (Zoom). All sessions include homework through our self-paced Schoology platform. \nInstructors: Sarah Grubb\, Allison Robinson\, Diana Schwab \nCost: FREE \nStandards: 15 PQAS hours/ACT 48 credits will be offered. \n\nC2: Knowledge Application\nChild Development and Learning in Context\nChild Observation\, Documentation\, and Assessment\nDevelopmentally\, Culturally\, and Linguistically Appropriate Teaching Practices\nProfessionalism as an Early Childhood Educator\n\nThere is a three (3) person per early learning site limit.
