Learn to See the Academic Power of Play 

For early childhood educators who are struggling to make the academic power of play visible to the parents, directors, and systems that keep asking for proof.

 

GRAB MY FREE SEAT

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Every session begins with a play invitation. You watch the children engage. I name the learning as it happens.

Day One: Learn to See Play

  • Why Play Is the Real Curriculum
  • The Three-Step Framework: Hand, Heart, Head
  • The Seven Domains Hiding in Plain Sight
  • What Children Learn Through Playdough

Day Two: See Play in Action

  • What Children Learn Through Block Play
  • What Children Learn Through Dramatic Play
  • What Children Learn Through Collaborative Painting
  • What Children Learn Through Small World Play

Day Three: Illuminating Learning

  • What Children Learn Through Light and Shadow Play
  • What Children Learn Through Outdoor Play
  • Telling the Learning Story
  • Analyzing Children's Play: A Step-by-Step Process

Learn my simple method for identifying play.

 

You know the questions by heart:

  • When will they learn their numbers?
  • Are you preparing them for reading?
  • Are they learning anything?

In this event, you are going to peak over my shoulder as I show you the learning unfolding in play. 

You will watch real footage of children playing at the Hummingbird Cottage, and hear me breakdown what’s happening in their play. 

This event will help you position yourself like the expert you are, and generate undeniable buy-in for play. 

COUNT ME IN!
