SUMMARY:ITERS - (Infant Toddler Environment Rating Scale-Revised)
DESCRIPTION:Do you know what elements need to be involved in order to have a quality program carried out daily in the classroom? Learn in this class!\n\n\nOnce a program director told me\, “A quality program should be quality everyday and quality throughout.” How do we evaluate a quality program? The ITERS-R (Infant Toddler Environment Rating Scale-Revised) edition gives us a quick snapshot and a lens from an educational research based on what are the elements needed to be involved in order to have  a quality program carried out daily in the classroom. Come learn together with me and start thinking about your classroom environment with a different lens.

SUMMARY:Whole Body Science-STEM Ideas for Young Children on the Move
DESCRIPTION:Do you have active children? Then this workshop is for you!\n\n\nEverything is science\, so while you won’t need any new materials\, Whole Body Science provides a new lens to look through when trying to engage those “whole body learners”. This workshop is for providers who don’t have a STEM background and who have very physically active children\, or even children who aren’t interested in the typical “sit-down” science activities. In this interactive workshop\, providers will: \n\nObserve examples of how to identify and provide STEM opportunities through engaging the body and active\, hands-on play\nReflect and strategize on supervision and workflow\nLearn how STEAM supports Whole Body Science\nFoster developmentally-appropriate ways for children who crave power\, consent and peer connection\nHow to use inquiry and improvisation to support STEM engagement\nHow to connect Whole Body Science to the DRDP\n\nThis class is facilitated by Solitaire Miguel. \nPlease contact Andrea@bananasbunch.org if you have any questions.
