Please join us for our second Joyful Literacy Saturday Academy. In these three interactive Saturday sessions, designed for family child care providers and center-based teachers and administrators, participants will engage with the Joyful Literacy program to support interactive read alouds using culturally affirming storybooks, oral language development, social-emotional growth, and creative expression through play, writing and the arts in early learning settings. Joyful Literacy also promotes family engagement with family activity guides in multiple languages.
Participants will be provided with free resources to cultivate joy, creativity, wellness, and literacy development with young children. Attendees will also learn how to use the tools to enhance language interactions using their own favorite books. Educators will leave with the skills and knowledge to begin transforming teaching and learning with young children and relationships with families beginning Monday morning. All participants will have access to a community Padlet with free resources, videos, and opportunities for further exploration through communities of practice.
For questions and additional information, please email SacE3@scoe.net. Space is limited. Only new applicants to the Joyful Literacy Saturday Academy may apply.
Stipends for attending all three Saturday (no partial stipends provided): $300.00
