Frame Their Learning

The Language of Stem and Instruction Support Tool Training

Professional Development Opportunity

Workshop Title:

Engaging in Deeper Conversations with Children on STEM Concepts and Instructional Support Concepts

(STEM- Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)

Workshop Abstract:

 It’s your turn to play… and talk!  Explore the STEM materials children use in your program.  Learn an easy, three-step approach to enhance the effectiveness of your learning environment through enriched, meaningful conversations with children.  Practice and develop questions and prompts that will invite children to think more deeply or try something new.  Good questions and engaging prompts have to be used at the right time to connect with children’s natural STEM interests.  Watch, Listen and Engage, and then begin the conversations that are the essence of STEM in early childhood, focusing in on developing concepts, having quality back and forth exchanges, and modeling language and vocabulary development.

Learning Objectives:

Play with STEM materials children use in your program.  Learn an easy 3-step approach to enhance your learning environment through meaningful conversations with children, by asking questions and using vocabulary related to their play and STEM concepts.
