Overview
Session 1: Dramatic Adventures: Creating Original Stories with Children
9:00 AM – 12:00PM
Presenter: Ali Oliver-Krueger
In this professional development workshop, educators use select drama strategies to create lively stories and miniature plays with young children. The story-building process provides children with opportunities to practice key literacy, cognitive, and social-emotional skills, using their imaginations, collaborating, and having fun! Educators will practice guiding young children through this creative development process from start to finish.
Session 2: growing green
1:00PM – 4:00PM
Presenters: Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner
Celebrate the wonder of the natural world around us and encourage the protection of wildlife and habitat through the use of music, creative drama and movement. Explore our connection to the families of plants and animals while sharing ideas and choices children can make to become environmental caregivers while enhancing numerous curriculum goals such as cognition and identification, listening and verbalization, and motor skills.
Course includes a Professional Development Certificate (6 credit hours), printed materials, catered breakfast and lunch if attending both sessions.
