SUMMARY:Everyday Interactions Matter: Deep and Simple in School Age Care
DESCRIPTION:Child care providers in Allegheny County may participate in a free\, 15-hour course\, “Everyday Interactions Matter: Deep and Simple in School Age Care”. \nSessions will take place via Zoom on Tuesday evenings from March 1 to March 29\, at 6:30 – 8 p.m.  Additional self-paced homework will be assigned via Schoology. Registration is available on the Trying Together website. \nReceive Credit\nAll 15 hours must be completed to get PQAS and/or ACT 48 credit. If you are interested\, we encourage you to register very soon! The link below gives details and dates for this course. If you successfully complete all 15 hours of the series PD\, you can use these hours to matriculate into 1 stackable credit at Carlow University. \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 five-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. \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.
