Phase One: Language and Literacy
The goal of this workshop is to enable participants to provide a firm foundation in emergent literacy for the children in their care. The Early Language and Literacy Classroom Observation (ELLCO) and Ohio’s Early Learning Content Standards will be the basis for strategies which encourage listening, speaking, reading and writing. The class highlights vocabulary acquisition and emergent writing skills. ***DON’T FORGET to bring yourEarly Learning Content Standards & Early Language and Literacy Classroom Observation (ELLCO) from last year to this class!!!***
Phase Two: Learning Discipline
The focus of this workshop is on the impact of communication and relationships when children engage in challenging behaviors. Created by Family Communications, Inc., (Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood) the session looks at discipline as a time for teaching, rather than a time for punishment. Participants will also reflect on their own attitudes and practices.
Phase Three: Assessment
Caring for multi-aged children and communicating with parents provide unique challenges for homecare providers. The Ages & Stages Questionnaire will offer opportunities to address those concerns as well as separate the few children who require more extensive evaluation from the children who do not.
