TRI Staff Members Present at the NAEYC Conference in Los Angeles

Nov 2, 2016 to Nov 5, 2016

TRI's Center on Early Learning staff presents:

Philosophy in Action

This interactive session will examine the role of a philosophy as the foundation for program practices and decisions. Participants will reflect on the origin and relevance of their program philosophy. Are the beliefs and values it embodies about children, families and early care and education aligned with their own? Does it it provide guiding principles for program decisions? Is the philosophy visible within the program environment, practices and relationships? Through individual reflection and dialog with other program leaders, participants will evaluate their current practices through the lens of their program philosophy to determine where philosophy and practice may be out of alignment. The session will conclude with the creation of an action plan to create and maintain greater synchronicity of values and practices.

Presenters: Robyn Lopez Melton, Lauren Peterson, Amy Rizzo

Center on Research, Evaluation, and Analysis staff presents:

Enhancing Executive Function Skills in Young Children

This session will provide practitioners and families with activities and strategies that support six main components to Executive Function. This session will provide information on Executive Function and developmentally appropriate activities for teaching young children in their natural environments. Participants will learn how to integrate key components into everyday routines.

Presenters: Serra Acar, Ph.D., Patricia Blasco, Ph.D.
