SUMMARY:VIRTUAL Quality Outdoor Interactions
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL Quality Outdoor Interactions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Building Strong Educator-Child Connections in Outdoor Environments”. The outdoors presents unique opportunities for child-led exploration\, social connection\, and inquiry-based learning—but it also requires intentional adult engagement to maximize learning potential. This class contains introductory information about high quality teacher-child interactions\, drawing on information from the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS). Through interactive discussions\, small-group reflection\, and opportunities to practice instructional support skills\, participants will leave with concrete strategies for enhancing the quality of their meaningful\, responsive interactions with children in outdoor learning environments. After registering for class\, a link will be sent to register in Zoom. @public \n\n\n\nInstructor: Ollie Feldman

SUMMARY:*NEW-VIRTUAL Finding Our Way Through Conflict: Strengthening Relationships with Colleagues and Families
DESCRIPTION:*NEW-VIRTUAL Finding Our Way Through Conflict: Strengthening Relationships with Colleagues and Families \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly childhood professionals regularly engage in complex conversations—with co-teachers\, supervisors\, and families. When tensions arise\, the way we respond matters. Drawing from Finding Our Way Through Conflict: Strategies for Early Childhood Educators\, this class will support participants in recognizing conflict triggers\, understanding multiple perspectives\, and approaching disagreements with curiosity rather than defensiveness. Educators will gain tools for managing workplace conflict\, fostering healthy team dynamics\, and building respectful partnerships with families—even when perspectives differ. After registering for class\, a link will be sent to register in Zoom. @public \n\n\n\nInstructor: Heidi DeVries
