Descriptions of Webinars:
| Title of Training | Description |
| Webinar-Books and Babies: Exploring Emerging Reading with Infants and Toddlers using FOUNDATIONS SDA 9 Presenter: Laura Lukens-Parker
| Description: From the day babies are born they begin their paths to literacy. Those who care for them hold the key to all later learning. It is important to understand the impact of positive relationships and the connection between infant and toddler language development and learning to read. This webinar will provide strategies on how you can support children under age 3, and every day practices that build the foundations for later reading experiences using the FOUNDATIONS to the Indiana Academic Standards. |
| Webinar-Molding Mini Mathematicians: Supporting Early Math Skills for Infants and Toddlers using FOUNDATIONS SDA 4 Presenter: Erin Syslo
| Description: How do we help infants and toddlers learn about math? There are real ways you can help support the earliest math skills for children birth through 3 years. This webinar will show you how to connect everyday learning experiences and build a foundation for all future mathematics learning through the FOUNDATIONS to the Indiana Academic Standards. |
| Webinar-Snack Time Math: Preschool Transitions and Routines that Build Skills using FOUNDATIONS SDA 2 Presenter: Cathy Parker
| Description: It’s easy to make math a part of your day! Young children learn basic mathematical concepts through play and every day experiences. Snack times, transition times, and play time all teach these concepts. This webinar will give you concrete ideas to use throughout the day with preschoolers. These ideas, which come from the FOUNDATIONS to the Indiana Academic Standards, will help children build the foundation for all later math learning. |
| Webinar-Mini Mad Scientists: Exploring the Nature of Science with Infants and Toddlers using FOUNDATIONS SDA 5 Presenter: Amy Healton
| Description: Infants and toddlers are natural scientists who learn best through hands-on, sensory-based, guided exploration. This training will use the FOUNDATIONS to the Indiana Academic Standards to help you explore the role these experiences play in developing basic science concepts with infants and toddlers. It will also offer insight into how young children learn during the experimentation and exploration that builds the foundation for all future science learning. |
