EARLY CHILDHOOD NEW TEWS858N All About Me: Including Racial Identity and Ethnicity (Preschool–Grade 2) If best practice speaks to teaching to the whole child, how can we do this effectively without recognizing and affirming a child and family’s racial identity? In this workshop, you will revisit your current All About Me unit (if applicable) and build on it, or create a new unit altogether centered around race. We will work from your existing lesson plans and we will design new lessons that connect literacy, language, art, music, science, math, and home/school connections to help children develop language around their racial identities. You will explore various children’s books and other media that can provide entry points into lessons. We will also connect lessons to state standards and the social justice standards from Teaching Tolerance. Instructor: Tara Kirton

“ This course revealed to me the many depths block building has to it. The brainstorming, collaboration, language and problem solving is just the beginning and who knew cleaning up could be so educational and fun!”
EDUC606N Block Building and Dramatic Play as an Integral Part of the Early Childhood Curriculum Unit blocks and the dramatic play that accompanies block building offer children multiple and diverse opportunities to develop and express their understanding of the social and physical world in which they live. In this course, you will learn how to integrate block-building experiences into the curriculum and organize block-building areas in the classroom. You will examine how block building supports the development of numeracy, literacy, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills, along with social and emotional growth. Field trips— and the opportunities for first-hand research that they provide—are an essential component of a block program and will also be included. This course will also support participants in settings with limited or no blocks in applying a broader understanding of the importance of play with open-ended materials and advocating for such experiences in their settings.

Instructor: Jill Mays July 26 and 28 | Online Tuesday and Thursday, 10:30 AM–3:30 PM ET 6 CTLE or .6 CEU / $295 Registration Deadline: 7/19 TEED654N The Reggio-Emilia Approach: From Theory to Practice (Ages Infant–5 Years) The early childhood program founded in Reggio-Emilia, Italy incorporates an emphasis on the learning environment, process vs. 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 recreate 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: Patricia Watkins and Rafa Pérez-Segura July 20 and 21 | On Campus* Wednesday and Thursday, 9:30 AM–4:30 PM ET 12 CTLE or 1.2 CEU $425 / 1 credit $1,710 Registration Deadline: 7/13 *This course meets at Bank Street College, 610 West 112th Street, New York, NY 10025

SPED587N The Spectrum of Play and Play on the Spectrum: Through a DIR/Floortime© Lens (Ages Birth–6) The course examines the play of neurotypical and neurodiverse children and the impact of individual differences in sensory and motor processing on development and play. A core feature of the course is how to employ the Developmental-Individual DifferenceRelationship Model (DIR/Floortime) to progress play with children on the Autistic Spectrum. DIR expands and promotes symbolic play, the capacity to express the full range of emotions, and to regulate anxiety and behavior using a teacher-caretaker mediated approach. This course presents the developmental spectrum of play and the manner in which play supports the formation of self-regulation, is self-realizing, addresses all areas of development simultaneously and is spontaneous and intrinsically motivated without the need for teacher directed tasks. We will examine these themes as concept and practice. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to discuss challenges you may encounter related to children with whom you are working. The relationship between the material being presented and the use of play for both expressing and working through trauma, will be addressed.

SEWS554N Supporting Language Development in the Preschool Classroom (Ages 2–5 Years) This workshop is based on the premise that with increased opportunities to practice language in the classroom, young children will become more efficient communicators. You will learn a variety of classroom techniques that will engage children with a wide range of language abilities and will help them to listen, learn, and communicate most effectively. You will learn to analyze teacher communication styles and how to best match them to the language learning styles of your students. Using a timeline for development as a foundation, we will review the course of typical language acquisition and contrast it with language delay, differences, and disorders. We will use multisensory materials to practice how to incorporate language stimulation techniques into daily lessons in order to seize all interactions as language learning opportunities.

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. The way in which they are constructed and carried out strongly affects the social, moral, and academic atmosphere in the setting. 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. You will examine and analyze the structures in your own and each others’ classrooms.

TEED658N Restorative Practices in the Early Grades (Grades 1–3) Restorative practices hold great promise for shifting the power balance, structures, and approach of traditional classroom and disciplinary practice. At their core, restorative practices are equitable and explicitly anti-racist. They incorporate themes of socialemotional learning, racial and cultural equity, and relationshipand trust-building to promote healthier classrooms and schools. Restorative practices encourage us to engage in self-reflection, to participate on the same level as our students, and to actively question some of the assumptions many of us may hold. In this course, we will explore the foundational philosophy and values of restorative practices, familiarizing ourselves with common themes and practices as we adopt a restorative and transformative lens. Together, we will engage with practical applications of restorative practices in the elementary classroom, trying them out together and reflecting on our experiences.
