Strengthen your understanding of the importance of play and the elements of play that support children’s learning. Discover simple ways to embed standards into free choice centers and various strategies for emphasizing the concepts and understandings you want children to develop.  Explore ways of sharing the importance of play and what your students are learning with families and administrators.

After the two hours of professional development learning activities, you will join fellow participants and become a part of a learning community. In this community, you will share successes and challenges, document your new practices, ask questions, and receive support from colleagues and technical assistance from your PK-3 Professional Learning Consultant from the PSESD (Lisa Monroe, your facilitator).
