Calling all early childhood educators!
The Wondrous Classroom: Playful Pedagogy
with Lynn Cuccaro
May 12-13, 2023
Portland, Oregon at the International School of Portland campus
Join us for a unique one-day or two-day exploration into the world of young children. Lynn Cuccaro will lead us in using brain research to plan and design meaningful learning experiences to build the foundation for early literacy in any language as we inspire wonder in our students.
Join us for the full two days or choose to come on Saturday only!
Friday, May 12: From loose parts pedagogy to the one hundred language of children, come learn strategies for creating rich invitations and provocations that provoke creative, meaningful experiences.
Saturday, May 13: Research continues to point out that young children learn best through meaningful play experiences. As educators, we know that play is the primary way children learn. In this workshop, we'll uncover the early years skills developed through play while discovering how movement supports neural pathways in the brain to connect the "learning dots" and builds the brain's architecture. No matter that language of your program, we'll unpack the crucial sensory-motor skills that build the foundation to early literacy, both in reading and handwriting.
