CPE/STEAM Practice Based Workshop - The Shape of Learning: Exploring Geometry Through STEAM Play

The Shape of Learning: Exploring Geometry Through STEAM Play
A Practice-Based STEAM Workshop for Early Childhood Educators

From towers of triangles to puzzles of patterns, geometry gives children powerful ways to see and shape their world. In this practice-based workshop, educators will explore playful strategies to help young learners build geometry skills while engaging in STEAM-rich experiences. Together, we’ll investigate how shapes can be named, compared, combined, and transformed through hands-on exploration and design.

This interactive session follows our proven structure:

• 45-Minute Engaging Presentation — Discover how playful geometry experiences build children’s early math and spatial reasoning.

• 15-Minute Video Reflection — Watch real-world examples of children exploring shapes and reflect on strategies you can use.

• 60-Minute Tinker & Take — Create hands-on geometry activities and materials you can bring back to your program the very next day.

You’ll leave with:

• A deeper understanding of how shapes support children’s math, problem-solving, and STEAM learning.

• Ready-to-use geometry activities that inspire curiosity and creativity.

• Materials and strategies to implement immediately in your classroom or program.

CPE/STEAM Practice Based Workshop - They See Me Rollin’: Ramps, Pathways & Playful STEAM

They See Me Rollin’: Ramps, Pathways & Playful STEAM
A Practice-Based STEAM Workshop for Early Childhood Educators

From wobbly rollers to slow-ball challenges, ramps and pathways give children endless ways to tinker, test, and discover. In this practice-based workshop, educators will explore how playful ramp and rolling activities spark curiosity, problem-solving, and STEAM learning in young learners. Together, we’ll experiment with motion, friction, surface types, and design challenges that invite children to roll into deeper learning.

This interactive session follows our proven structure:

• 45-Minute Engaging Presentation — Discover how ramps and pathways connect to STEAM concepts like force, motion, and problem-solving.

• 15-Minute Video Reflection — Watch real-world examples of ramp play in action, then reflect on strategies you can use.

• 60-Minute Tinker & Take — Build hands-on ramp and pathway exploration tools you can bring back to your program the very next day.

You’ll leave with:

• A deeper understanding of how ramp play builds early science, math, and engineering skills.

• Ready-to-use activities — from wobbly rollers to slow-ball ramps.

• Materials and strategies to implement immediately in your classroom or program.

Capital Regional Assessment Network (CRAN) Meeting Opportunities 5/29/26

The Capital Regional Assessment Network (CRAN) is more than just a meeting—it’s a vibrant community of assessment and accountability professionals from across the 14-county Capital Central Foothill Area Consortium (CCFAC) and beyond.

Led by the Sacramento and Placer County Offices of Education—with support from COE partners and local educational agencies (LEAs)—CRAN brings together smart minds, shared challenges, and fresh ideas.

Each meeting is a chance to learn, laugh, and connect. Whether you're troubleshooting tricky testing logistics or celebrating a new data dashboard, CRAN is the place to bring your questions, swap stories, and spark ideas with fellow coordinators. Come for the updates, stay for the camaraderie—and leave with tools, insights, and maybe even a few new friends.

• All meetings are at SCOE.
• Each meeting begins with a bring-your-own Networking Lunch from 12-1 PM.
• Meetings run from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM. 
• This community meets six times a year.
