Cultivating Curiosity: A Day of Professional Discovery
Join us for a teacher-led morning dedicated to the art and science of early childhood education. This professional development day invites early childhood educators to engage in discussions and observations of diverse instructional strategies used at ITC. The morning features a series of breakout sessions and plenary discussions focused on:
Nurturing the Caregiver: Dedicated sessions on self-care strategies specifically tailored for infant and toddler teachers.
Child-Led Exploration: Deep dives into children-guided projects, Reggio Emilia-inspired practices, and the power of student agency in the classroom.
The Heart of the Day: Reimagining care and routines as meaningful opportunities for connection and learning.
Bold Beginnings: Exploring the vital role of risk-taking and trust-building in toddler development.
Format: The morning will balance classroom observations with collaborative plenary sessions designed to spark dialogue and share peer-led presentations. Attendees are encouraged to visit the open classrooms, which offer a valuable opportunity for early educators to gain inspiration from alternative setups. Light refreshments will be served as we gather to grow our collective practice.
