SPRINGFIELD, Ill., OKLAHOMA CITY, SAN ANTONIO, and PETERBOROUGH, N.H., Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Early childhood educators have read her books, sung her songs, and played her games. Now they have the opportunity to spend a day with the popular and beloved Dr. Jean Feldman in Dr. Jean's Active Learning Adventure: Let's Make It Purposeful, Planful, and Playful! The one-day seminar for PreK–K educators hosted by Staff Development for Educators (SDE) is packed with innovative, imaginative, and proven strategies for making the standards more fun and engaging for teachers and students.
Dr. Jean's Active Learning Adventure: Let's Make It Purposeful, Planful, and Playful! will be offered in Springfield, IL on November 2, San Antonio, TX on November 8 and Oklahoma City, OK on November 30.
A best-selling author, Dr. Jean quickly learned in her 40-year career in education that incorporating patty cake, finger plays, and exercise will not only engage little learners, but also contribute to their cognitive, social, and physical development. The original songs, games, and hands-on activities she shares during this interactive seminar will have attendees buzzing with excitement, scribbling down ideas, and laughing with delight.
"Most days, teachers are hard at work fitting everything they have to do into their busy days while managing a room full of active little ones," Kymra Kurinskas, SDE program developer, says. "This lively seminar will shake teachers out of their daily routines, uncover exciting ways to align learning to the standards, and reignite their passion for teaching."
In one fast-paced day, attendees will discover creative, active, and hands-on learning experiences for literacy, math, and science. They'll learn how to make the standards more developmentally appropriate through songs, games, and activities. In addition, they'll gain simple tips for maintaining a smooth-running classroom and keeping children focused through games and brain energizers.
"It can feel like a jungle out there when you're the one responsible—and held accountable—for the success of students. In this seminar, educators will pick up practical and easy-to-implement ways to ignite energy and enthusiasm that fuels learning. And, they'll be amazed at how simple and quick Dr. Jean's fun activities really are," Kurinskas adds.
