Online Workshop – Autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)
Description: This is a relatively new term for a profile under the Autism umbrella. Autistic children often refuse to comply with requests or demands especially for things they don’t prefer over ones they do. Those with a PDA profile experience severe anxiety over similar situations but also include everyday demands such as hygiene, eating, dressing, and attending school. Parents and educators often hear “I can’t” and interpret it as “I won’t.” Let’s see what is really happening for these children, how they respond and how we can help them move forward.

Online Workshop – Outdoor Play Provocations… Triggering Children’s Curiosity
Description: Provocations are intended to trigger children’s curiosity. Curiosity leads children to exploration, experimentation, new learning and triggers new ideas and opportunities to use similar materials, in very different ways. The loose parts and materials used in setting up provocations are intended to support children in curating new languages, which in turn, adds to their sense of wonderment and how they engineer their play experiences. This workshop will provide a variety of examples of provocations that bring children’s ideas, thinking, and learning to life.

Online Workshop – Under the Surface: The Depths of Pedagogical Documentation
Description: Pedagogical Documentation is used in many ways by educators who value inquiry and reflective practice: As a decision-making tool, a form of dialogue, and a way to value children’s thinking by making it visible.

Katelyn sees leadership as a lifestyle not just a set of skills. It is a way of influencing change, creating connections and building community. In the field of early childhood education, leadership is not only what drives systemic change but also what creates healthy classroom dynamics. This workshop will explore leadership in early childhood education specifically from the perspective of servant leadership. We will discuss the work of leadership experts such as Brené Brown and Drew Dudley. We will put theories into practice which develop our ability to see multiple perspectives and navigate through hard interactions and relationships. We will engage with the concepts of values and ethics to be conscious of how these show up in our lives and in others. Further, through learning new skills in this workshop we will develop a new awareness which will support our own personal and professional growth which will support our own wellness.
