9:00 AM, Session 1, Memorial Student Center, Great Hall
TUESDAY MORNING - Keynote
Through personal stories hear how educators, on any given day, can alter a child's life.
Rachel has an extreme enthusiasm for all things early childhood. She believes in the power of play, getting dirty, climbing trees, star gazing, pretending, and the idea that learning is magical. Rachel specializes in creating content that hits all early learning standards and is still engaging, memorable, outside of the box, and most of all FUN! We are so excited to have her at our conference!
Breakout Session: CREATIVITY WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK
Understand this unique “out of the box” approach to enhance lessons, curriculum, and the classroom environment without much/any cost to the educator.
Friday, Session 2 - Memorial Student Center - Ballroom C
Lisa Murphy, the "Ooey Gooey Lady®" - Keynote on Saturday
9:00 AM, Session 1, Memorial Student Center, Great Hall
Hear The Ooey Gooey Lady® on Saturday. Lisa Murphy has been involved with early childhood education for over 20 years. In her usual engaging style, Lisa will challenge you and bring new energy and lessons you can implement.
MANY KINDS OF SMART - Keynote
Think you are good at your job because you love children? What about the ones that challenge you? This session is a far cry from simply listing various personality characteristics, needs and preferences. By providing easy to implement, yet possibly challenging, “comfort zone stretchers,” Lisa challenges teachers to make sure they are reaching all the children in the classroom.
Breakout Session: OH, THOSE LITTLE ONES
The focus is on making sure the adults working with our wee-ones realize that nothing and we mean nothing! is more important than creating and nurturing those strong bonds of attachment.
Saturday, Session 2 - Memorial Student Center, Great Hall
Breakout Session: LET’S GO OUTSIDE
Outdoor time is NOT wasted time. Understand what makes it so powerful. Learn activities and experiences that can be implemented immediately using materials you probably already have!
Saturday, Session 3 & 4 - Memorial Student Center, Great Hall
