We’ve collaborated with @nhsl to offer a play-based learning workshop for NH library staff at different locations throughout the state! Thank you to Rochester PL for generously hosting our first one yesterday for these amazing seacoast-area librarians! #playbasedlearning

[UNH Early Childhood Education Coaching Initiative @NHplaybased]

At today’s @WaypointNH event in Concord, families enjoyed milk and cookies, stories, arts and crafts, & free children’s books! Children also explored #looseparts (open-ended materials that can be used in a variety of ways). These materials promote #playbasedlearning and the #6Cs

👏👏👏 "Researcher @KathyandRo1 has a challenge she would like to see lawmakers in the U.S. Congress take on—call it a dare. She wants all 535 of them to spend a day taking the lead in an #earlychildhood classroom." https://t.co/XvYae4Xt2K

We recently hosted a workshop for staff at The Children's Place & Parent Education Center and teachers have been transferring their knowledge to practice by creating invitations and provocations that promote play-based learning & the 6Cs! #playbasedlearning #ECE #intentionality

What strategies do you use to elicit & interpret students’ thinking? Which skills & competencies could be developed thru students’ explorations of loose parts? How do you use documentation & formative assessments as evidence to inform your next steps?@RWCreteauTech @RochNHSchool

Our team enjoyed presenting to FOE2 students @RWCreteauTech yesterday. We focused on the topic of using student-centered approaches and strategies to elicit and interpret students' thinking.@RochNHSchool @unhchhs #ECE #bestpractice #studentcenteredlearning #personalizedlearning
