DESCRIPTION:Summer Series 2016 course with instructors Valerie Poplawski and Elyce Perico of The Hartsbrook School \nProfessional development for early childhood educators\, early grades teachers\, and pedagogical chairs \nWhat is expected and required of the child in first grade? What can kindergarten and first grade teachers do to foster a healthy transition? \nThis course is an opportunity to focus on a topic that affects the child\, the family\, and the health of a school. Through the guidance of a highly experienced working team of an early childhood educator and an educational support coordinator\, we will explore the components of first grade readiness and readiness assessments; variances in child development (and ways of addressing them); and essential considerations for the first grade teacher in ensuring a successful transition. We will also cover the need for active partnering with parents throughout the kindergarten-to-first grade process and how to build those requisite communication skills. \nThrough presentation\, discussion\, and hands-on practice\, you will explore: \n\nGetting to know today’s children\nIntegration\, incarnation\, and the stages of development\nThe connection between movement and learning\, including exploration of the four foundational senses and ways of strengthening them\nSharing and practicing essential components of a first grade assessment\nPotential interventions and therapeutic activities for the classroom\nIdeas for building a strong bridge into first grade\n\nYou will come away with helpful resource lists and study materials\, as well as examples of assessment forms\, letters to parents\, and formats for parent information evenings. \nSince first grade readiness is a team endeavor\, signing up all members of your working team is advised. \nInstructors \nElyce Perico is the Educational Support Coordinator and Chair of the Educational Support Group at The Hartsbrook School (MA)\, where she previously served as a class teacher for 13 years.  She also serves on the Board of the Association for a Healing Education.
