that has been created is entitled Curriculum, and was made possible through the
Provincial Capacity Building funding. The goal of the module is to nurture the
question “what is curriculum?” within early childhood educators, and promote
further dialogue amongst teams and organizations. There is a series of video’s
that were created specifically for this module that can act as great first step
in starting this important conversation.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

For 2014 we resolve to do whatever we can to get accessible and affordable ELECT training for all early years learning and development professionals. <br />
<br />
In order to meet our New Year's resolution, the committee is currently working on "Study Guides." With these study guides, you'll be able to train wherever and whenever you want! Each guide will focus on one principle and include facilitator notes, icebreakers, think tank, photo/video challenges, a "mirror mirror on the wall" reflective practice, and, of course, a loot bag to end the party!<br />
<br />
The committee is working hard to finish this project for the New Year and we are also looking into options to translate the guides into French and English.<br />

Thanks to someone for this great idea (I would love to take credit, but alas it was not me!) this is proving to be the perfect solution to our issues of communication due to language and literacy challenges. Working with a group of people representing 11 or 12 different countries all at different levels of skill in reading and writing in one common language can be a big challenge! The Webbing Board allows us to use pictures and fun artsy touches to convey our program in one easy to read place. Both staff and parents can add to it, which means we have a collaborative program. Parents are happy to see the daily growth of the board, and have a great time with the pictionary aspect!!!! Not always neat and tidy but fun, informative, interactive, inclusive and easy to use cross-culturally.<br />

Disclaimer: The mother in-law described in this post is
merely the one-sided depiction by an individual and by no means should be used
as a broad generalization of all mother in-laws. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></div>

</div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last week we had a client come to one of our playgroups seeking
affirmation of her parenting skills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her
3.8 year old child will be starting junior kindergarten this September and she
was worried she wasn’t doing enough to prepare her child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It turns out her mother-in-law had helped sow
the seeds of parental anxiety by telling her that her child should already be
doing seat work and learning to read and write.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In essence, the child was spending far too much time playing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although the mother of the young child knew
that play was good and that her child was learning, she wanted to stand behind
her conviction with some documented proof.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In this case, our client would probably have been pleased
with a hand written note from our staff to her mother-in-law stating she was
right and mother-in-law was wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead,
we referred her back to the ELECT document filled with brilliant statements of
principles like “Play is a means to early learning...” and an exhaustive
continuum of development demonstrating “playful” interactions that develop
domains and skills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks to the idea
submitted by Vanier Community Resource Centre, we also started developing
activity sheets letting parents know what children are learning when doing
specific activities and how parents can extend the play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mom can also take these back to her
mother-in-law to assure her that the child is learning while playing.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our elders are a wealth of knowledge and experience, but I’m
glad that we were able to re-affirm this mother’s conviction about the value of
play by using the ELECT document.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Knowing how important family is to a child’s growth and development, I
hope that in the near future we’ll be seeing child, mom, and grandmother all
playing and learning together! </span></div>

We decided to regularly post questions that blog readers could take back to their teams and colleagues to discuss.<br />
<br />
Here is our first thought provoking question:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">If accreditation or city purchase of services were tied to the ELECT Framework, would your agency be ready? If so, what have you put in place to help you feel confident? If not, what steps would you need to take? </span></strong><br />
<br />
Talk it up with your teams and share your comments with us on the blog!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’d love to hear what you have to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

(<span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="http://earlylearningottawa.blogspot.ca/2013/01/inspired-by-others-on-blog.html">January 2013 post about Success Tree</a>)</span><br />
<br />
In many of our groups, the trees didn't seem to be "taking off" but we really believed in the concept of having parents/guardians and caregivers engaged and involved in observing their child's development and learning. <br />
<br />
Time to come up with a strategy! One of our support workers suggested that we invite the adults at circle time to come up to the tree and write something that they have observed their child doing recently.<br />
<br />
It worked really well! They wrote their observation and added it to the tree while the playgroup facilitator read them aloud to validate children's successes.<br />
<br />
Once those observations were up, parents and caregivers seemed more at ease to add new successes as they observed them.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In our work as Early Literacy Specialists,
my colleagues and I are often faced with the challenge of finding ways to
interpret concepts so they can be applied rapidly to the childcare settings in
our community. It’s no secret that we champion the “Early Learning for Every
Child Today” (ELECT) framework and our work over the last 2 years focused
mainly on training professionals to make the most of the interactions they had
with the children and families in their care. And although most of our
workshops and conference presentations usually end with us handing over
resources and strategies our participants can use right away, there are some
concepts in the framework that are more difficult to convey.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Our greatest challenge so far
has been to demystify the 6 statements of principles, which are designed to
guide our work in early childhood development. They can be interpreted in many
different ways, an as with most of the information contained in the ELECT
document, there is no true right or wrong way of interpreting them. It takes
time and reflection to figure out how to apply them to any childcare setting.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There is no way to demystify the
statements in a short article such as this one. However, it is a perfect forum
for us to begin discussions and this article will contain <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">very simple</b> interpretations, insights and suggestions. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Statement of Principle
1: Early child development sets the foundation for lifelong learning, behaviour
and health</span></b>.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Adults who were exposed to many
new learning experiences as children deal better with stress and adapt well to
change.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">When young children are given
many learning opportunities, they tend to adapt well to change as they grow up.
While children need structure and routine, they also need to have new
experiences in a safe environment, with adults they trust. The confidence and
self-esteem they build when they have been able to solve problems, work with others,
make friends and successfully complete tasks on their own helps them approach
new experiences and new environments with more ease. Don’t be afraid to give
children new materials to work with or make changes to their learning
environment. Just make sure you are respectful of their emotions and respond
accordingly. The goal here is to help children successfully face new
challenges, not to avoid new experiences altogether.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Statement of Principle
2: Partnerships with families and communities strengthen the ability of early
childhood settings to meet the needs of young children.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Learning to socialize,
collaborate and cooperate are essential life skills that lead to creating
strong, prosperous communities.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Much of the partnerships in
early childhood involve organizations in the related sectors. But they don’t
have to be. There are many members of the community who are more than happy to
contribute to the health and well being of our children. And contributing
doesn’t always need to mean giving money. My colleagues and I seek out partnerships
as a way to make projects happen much faster and with very little money. We
have asked businesses in our community to contribute materials for events, such
as panels for a Book Walk that would have been too expensive to purchase.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">But there is more to
partnerships than exchanging money or materials: there is a social aspect. As
we use more and more technology to communicate quickly, basic social skills in
our society have begun to suffer. The experience of bringing people together
for a common goal is a great way to teach children about how they fit in their
community.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There’s no doubt that we all
want the best for our youth, but how will they learn to reach out to their
community if we don’t teach them how? Try coming up with an event that would
require you to ask merchants in your neighbourhood to contribute anything but
money (time, space, materials, etc.). Have the children and families contribute
as well so they see what a community partnership looks like and what it can
lead to.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Statement of Principle
3: Demonstration of respect for diversity, equity and inclusion are
prerequisites for optimal development and learning.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Children develop a strong sense
of self from growing up in an environment that supports and respects their
individuality.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We talk quite a bit about
multiculturalism and inclusion in our society, but diversity is more than just
making sure you have dolls and posters that reflect different cultures. At the
very root, diversity is about open minds, self-esteem and tolerance for all
points of view. The objective in this principle is to view each child (and
adult) as a unique person.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is difficult because we
tend to believe that treating everyone as unique is more work, or that it’s not
fair to not treat everyone the same. Just because one child needs more, it
certainly doesn’t mean we are neglecting the child who doesn’t. So let’s
redefine the word, “fair” to mean “every child’s needs are met.” Get to know
your families, go beyond just learning their names and their cultures. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Statement of Principle
4: A planned curriculum supports early learning.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Planning focuses on learning
goals determined by assessing children’s developmental needs.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The idea behind this principle
is that the planning process involves thinking about what you have observed the
children doing, learning and struggling with. It involves thinking about the
space and materials at your disposal and how you might use them. The process
also helps you determine how you will support children’s skills development. Without
proper planning, curriculum becomes rigid and inflexible because not enough
thought has been put into what’s really important. It may sound like a
contradiction, but the truth is a planned curriculum gives you more flexibility
in your work, not to mention, it helps you make better use of your time.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Planning in advance requires
that you set appropriate learning goals for the children and think about the many
ways they can be achieved. Think of ways to include skills development in
subjects children are interested in or their favourite games.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Statement of Principle
5: Play is a means to early learning that capitalizes on children’s natural
curiosity and exuberance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Play is highly motivated
practice.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There is much learning going on
when children are at play, from cognitive problem-solving to social
interactions and vocabulary development. It’s not that having fun makes
children learn more effectively, it’s that the children are more readily open
to acquiring new skills if they are embedded in a quality play experience. They
will put more effort into learning a game they are interested in playing than
in learning “boring grownup stuff” that usually requires them to sit quietly
and listen.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Watching children during free
play is a perfect opportunity to assess where they are situated on their
continuum of development. In fact, it’s one of the best assessment tools you
have at your disposal, since it shows how children naturally apply their
understanding of concepts, behaviours and interactions to their environment.
How much, or how little, you participate in their play experiences will depend
on what you are trying to observe or what skill you are trying to develop.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Statement of Principle
6: Knowledgeable and responsive early childhood practitioners are essential to
early childhood settings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Reflective early childhood
professionals are better prepared to respond to the needs of their families.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There is a direct relationship
between self-reflection and quality of service. Reflecting upon your
environment, having discussions with families, thinking about your prior
experiences and observations is necessary to help you to make decisions about the
best way to approach your work. The discomfort that comes with self-reflection usually
has to do with the idea that if we self-reflect, we are looking for something
we are doing wrong. Although it is important to be honest with yourself, the
objective of the process is not necessarily to find fault: it’s an effort to
improve. For example, the decision to take a workshop doesn’t mean you lack
professional skills, it simply means you wish to add to the ones you have. And
you would have determined this after having reflected on how to better meet the
needs of your families.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Hopefully this will give you
cause to think about the principles and how they apply to your specific reality.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Garamond','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Les Centres éducatifs les petits pinceaux (le MIFO) en collaboration avec les Spécialistes en alphabétisation, ont organisé une marche littéraire le 19 février dernier. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Garamond','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Le but de la marche littéraire était d’encourager l’engagement familial et communautaire afin de promouvoir la littératie.

Chaque Centre avait réalisé un bricolage d'une lanterne avec les enfants. Elles étaient remises à tous les participants au début du sentier. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Garamond','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">Les familles pouvaient suivre le déroulement de l’histoire, parfois animé par des bénévoles. Pour la dernière page de l'histoire les familles étaient invitées à venir déguster une collation et un chocolat chaud à l'intérieur où des conteurs bénévoles du cercle des conteurs et des conteuses de l'Est de l'Ontario racontaient des histoires avec des marionnettes aux enfants. Ce fut un grand succès apprécié de tous.</span></div>
