"Take back the joy and meaning of the teaching and learning process. Consider it a call to action."

Throughout the 2009-2010 school year we will be using this book in our study group. We hope you will join us in our efforts to support each other. We hope to "nourish the heart" of our teaching and "keep the vision of what early childhood education could be" strong and the focus of our work.

There is a workshop happening in May. It is expensive, but how powerful it could be if a group of us support each other and go. Would this strengthen our Pre K community of teachers? I think so. So, much of what I read and am learning is that it doesn't work if you try to do it alone.

Reflective Teaching Institute coming up in May in Annapolis, Maryland which focuses on Learning Together with Young Children. Please see the following flyer for more information: [] Posted Yesterday 10:33 am - [|[delete]]  ||  || [|kcraft1] I think it sounds like a great idea. The workshop is a bit pricey. I wonder if we could find some subsidy for it?

Yes, it would be great to go as a group. I wonder if there is any funding out there to pay for it? ?

I agree that it would be nice for a group to attend a conference like this. It is so much more helpful to have someone to discuss/share what you are learning and to reflect on its implications to your own setting.

As I have mentioned the idea that one cannot do this work alone and maintain the focus, was emphasized to me over and over when I did my visits during the sabbatical. It takes a strong support system- that's each of us for each other. Betsy

I thought I was responding under Liz's comment and found I"m in a different spot. Can we have a little tutorial at some point?
