Play

Knowledge

Communication

Confidence

That is the question!


How does it all work together?


What about just ...

Play & knowledge & Teaching?


How does it fit Together?

Do you know someone who is

naturally good at something?


Like a singer?


They are naturally talented?


I am a natural at teaching.


I don't want to brag...


I also knew a couple of others along my journey.


Now it's great being a natural at something.


It started with playing with my nieces and nephews.

Yes babysitting them was my first job.

We played and they loved it.

I could get them to do anything...

chores, homework, and even get to bed on time!


In the classroom a parent would

tell me her child was difficult.

Not for me!


I would help other Teachers.

An infant was crying I would come in

and easily sooth the infant.


A teacher couldn't calm down their class

I was called and easily got them

settled and did group time!


So who needs Knowledge?


Right?


I did!

Knowledge

Classroom strategies that make the classroom flow simple, easy and save time

Who Needs Knowledge?


I didn't know exactly why it all worked

or what they all were learning.


I knew it was right,

it felt right.


I needed to understand all of it!


That is why you need knowledge...


It isn't simply just feeling right.


You need the knowledge to make it

fit together like a puzzle.


I had a few difficult children.


Don't we all

One, I remember distinctly was Bella.


A challenge for me and my staff to figure out.


That is when I knew that my staff would

not just see that, I have a natural talent.

That there is more to it than that!


You actually had to know what you were doing ~

All of the time!


You had to observe, take notes,

talk with the parent, and keep trying.

And be willing to try new things, change things,

and being okay with making mistakes along the way.


Basically the teaching cycle

Plan - Implement- Review

And continue until you get it right!


Yes, this takes time, effort, determination,

and ultimately Confidence!


And a little support.


So we put together a plan and did our observations,

parent conferences,

and teaching Cycle to help Bella.


It took knowledge,

Communication, and Confidence.


That is how we got to the planning,

implementation, and support to make it work!


Then one day it happened.


We realized it all came together.


The greeting Bella at the door

without other children,

having her mother say good bye,

before she got in the classroom,

and having her start with only ONE activity choice.


It came together again the classroom flow

of play and engagement

throughout the classroom.


If I didn't have the knowledge

I wouldn't have known my next steps for Bella.


We need knowledge to understand

to implement it all in the classroom for each child.



Communication

To communicate confidently. So, you can have better relationships with parents and staff. Then, you will get the support you need with less complaints.

Now for Communication.

You need that too.

I wouldn't know how to communicate how

play helps children learn to parents, Co- workers,

or to others in childcare.


And to use communication for those critical

or should I dare to say difficult conversations?


Knowledge & Support = Confidence

Confidence

Feel capable and empowered in your own skills as a teacher. So, that you can rest assured you are making an impact.

That brings in the last component, Confidence!


You need the confidence to know

what you are doing is right.


From playing, documentation, classroom strategies,

to communication with

all those other professionals

and parents.


And yes,

even just feeling confident

just to PLAY with the children.


I wouldn't have the confidence to

'just' play with the children everyday

in the classroom.

Natural Talent

Isn't enough on it's own! You need knowledge, communication, and your own authentic style


Having a natural talent

and a love for children isn't enough.


Even naturally gifted singers and musicians

don't just rely on their talent....


Know what do they do?


Go to school to not only practice more,

but to learn theory, study other musicians styles

and techniques.


For more knowledge & Practice which equals experience.


All while putting their own authentic

natural talent

every step of the way.


That is what my

Playful Teacher Classroom Connection

will do for you!


It feels great when the classroom just clicks

and all the children are engaged,

learning and playing together!
