Cancelled - Celebrate K! - Administration Track

Full-Day Kindergarten Conference

Tue, July 18 2017 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Description

Full-day kindergarten is an important element of our state's strategy for improving student outcomes and closing the achievement gap. Much happens during the kindergarten year that makes it special, including welcoming families into the K-12 system, facilitating student success in a developmentally appropriate, standards-based environment, and forging "school readiness" partnerships with the early learning community. 

In addition to this special one-day track for administrators, Celebrate K! is offering three days of content specially targeted for Kindergarten staff. Participants can attend days individually, or all three days, choosing from a variety of sessions.

Lunch will be included.

This session for administrators will focus on the Washington State Full Day Kindergarten Guide. Participants will dive deep into the document and discuss with colleagues what the guide means for Kindergarten classrooms and what developmentally appropriate practice looks like in Kindergarten.
In this session, administrators will take a deep look at the reports and data available through WaKIDS and hear ideas and strategies to help their teachers successfully collect and use the data.
This session will focus on the process Richland School District went through to ensure a successful implementation of full-day kindergarten. Participants will also learn how Richland connected with other learning projects that were already taking place and how they have expanded the work to first grade.
Participants will learn what to look for when observing a dual-language Kindergarten classroom and how those special “look for” components in a dual-language classroom coincide with the Danielson Evaluation model. Special attention will be given to bilingual learning centers and how they differ from centers in a monolingual Kindergarten classroom.
