Cincinnati Association for the Education of Young Children (CAEYC)

AND

Dayton Association of Young Children (DAYC)

Proudly announce their 3-day Professional Development Institute:

REFLECTIVE PRACTICE:  LISTENING, LOOKING, AND LEARNING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

Three-Day Institute with  Margie Carter and Deb Curtis 

Internationally Acclaimed Experts in Early Childhood Education and Co-Founders of Harvest Resources

March 19-21, 2009

The voice of children is heard, seen, and experienced through the daily interactions and observations of young children. Thus, if actively looking to
learn by using reflective practices, early childhood professionals may enhance experiences for children as well as nourish themselves.
Subsequently, through observing and documenting children points of view and engaging their senses, it is possible to enhance learning outcomes
and care for young children's minds and hearts.

Join us for a three-day institute to “transform” your practices with children.

      Trusting the voices of children

      Reflecting on Self as a  Resourceful Learner and Teacher

      Affirming Harmony with the Natural World

      Nurturing Creativity in Teaching and Learning

      Setting the Stage for Best Practices in Early Education

      Focusing on Standards as Assets in Planning and Accountability

      Observing Purposefully to Plan Responsively

      Relating with Children and Families in the Spirit of Community

      Managing the Environment with Intentionality 

Margie Carter and Deb Curtis promise to inspire teachers of young children with an integrated approach to culturally relevant concepts, anti-basis principles, constructivism, and Reggio Emilia forms of documentation. Early childhood professionals should come to the Institute ready to engage in dynamic participatory interaction that will lead to providing an improved child centered curriculum rich in experience and ready to meet educational outcomes.
