A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Educators, 2020 has been a year like no other. Educators around the world have been called upon in unprecedented ways and stepped up to support children and families. As we plan for the unknown this school year, we have the opportunity to come together in local and global communities to reimagine education. CPS faculty have adapted their courses to model remote learning including some favorite topics, including The Essential Orton-Gillingham (p. 8), Behavior Management (p. 6), The Reggio-Emilia Approach (p. 4) and The Youngest Scientist (p. 7). In addition, new online workshops will bring us together to explore timely topics, such as Discussing Race with Teens and Teaching Online (p. 2), Leadership in the Time of COVID-19 (p. 9), Incorporating Diverse Literature (p. 8) and Play-based Curriculum (p. 4). We welcome you to join us online this fall to explore and discuss as a community of learners. We will get through this together.
Sincerely,

TEED656N Constructing a Democratic Classroom: Focus on Routines, Rules, and Transitions (Ages 3–9 Years) Routines, rules, and transitions may be thought of as providing the framework for the daily life of the classroom.

What does democracy mean in relation to routines, rules, and transitions? How can children have a voice in determining them? The ultimate goal is not simply to create order, but also to encourage the development of both autonomy and a caring community. Topics to be considered are views of the nature of the child, developmental appropriateness, flexibility, the needs of English language learners and children with developmental variations, issues around power and control, the meaning of resistance, and how routines and transitions relate to academic learning and the various curriculum areas, particularly social studies. Teachers will examine and analyze the structures in their own and each others’ classrooms.

TEED654N The Reggio-Emilia Approach: From Theory to Practice (Ages Infant–5 Years) The early childhood program found in Reggio-Emilia, Italy, incorporates an emphasis on the learning environment, process versus product, developmentally appropriate practice, and the importance of the community of learners. Much of this philosophy reflects the culture of the Italians and is difficult to re-create in the United States. This course is meant to provide an introduction to the approach and will attempt to bridge the Reggio-Emilia theory with American culture. We will view the Reggio-Emilia approach as a means to combat the push-down curriculum, competition, product over process, and the jumping/skipping of learning stages we are now experiencing in this country. Instructors: Pat Watkins and Jennifer Khayat November 2, 4, 9, and 11* Mondays and Wednesdays, 7:00 PM–9:30 PM ET 12 CTLE or 1.2 CEU $425/ 1 credit $1,660 Registration Deadline: 10/26 *1 hour of asynchronous work in between the sessions TEED531N The Youngest Scientists: Hands-on Adventures (Ages 3–8 Years) Bring out the inner scientist in your students and yourself with this course, which includes a wide range of easy-to-do scientific experiments and activities.

In this current context of worldwide protests and, for many, a renewed commitment to advocating for equity, it’s more critical than ever that we teach children to understand the gifts and limitations of their own experiences and to think outside themselves to appreciate the perspectives of others.
