Dr. Nicholson will address myths about play and highlight its benefits as a child’s human right that is critical to equity and excellence in early education. Participants will gain insights into designing classrooms that support children to learn through self-directed play, guided play and meaningful adult-directed activities and see examples of the power of play to support stress reduction, resilience and healing. Participants will leave inspired with a roadmap of tangible ideas to foster the joyful, developmentally appropriate early learning experiences that set children up for success in school and life.]]> 2023-10-10 18:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2740453573 UPK Curriculum Checklist MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2740517259 2023-10-10 18:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2740517259 Preschool Learning Foundations MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743022226 2023-10-12 05:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743022226 Preschool Curriculum Framework MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743023644 2023-10-12 05:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743023644 Open-ended Materials MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743025069 Edutopia is an excellent resource]]> 2023-10-12 05:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743025069 The Garden Center MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743026572 Eastern CT University has a wonderful video library!]]> 2023-10-12 05:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743026572 UPK Curriculum Checklist MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743031417 2023-10-12 05:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743031417 PRoPELS Strategy for Planning Play MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743033016 2023-10-12 05:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2743033016 CPIN English Language Development: Writing Training MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2744274966 2023-10-12 22:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2744274966 California Mathematics Council: Math Conference MEP_LA https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2744276982 2023-10-12 22:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/MEP_LA/c9uyn0q9myhhnoz1/wish/2744276982
