Educator Evening is a FREE professional development series on the first Wednesday of every month (excluding January and July) offering state-approved professional development hours for participation.

Join us in September with for a conversation with Jennifer Oxman Ryan, researcher and senior project manager on the Pedagogy of Play initiative at Project Zero, a research organization based at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Through this program, we will explore play as the heart of childhood. Through play, children learn how to collaborate, how to negotiate rules and relationships, and how to imagine, create, and dream. They learn to solve problems, think flexibly and critically, and communicate effectively. Whether playing with objects, engaging in pretend play, or tinkering with ideas and testing theories, children’s play is essential to their social, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth. In this session, we’ll discuss what it means to embrace play as a core way that children learn in school. Participants will have an opportunity to consider and discuss the role of play in their own teaching and learning context. 

This program is hosted virtually on Zoom.

Join us in August for a conversation on Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS). VTS is intended to transform the way students think and learn. Based in theory and research, VTS uses skilled facilitation of visual art discussions to significantly increase student engagement, performance, and enjoyment of learning. VTS is intended to empower individuals to broaden their capacity to make meaning, to shift education practice to prioritize facilitation of learner experience and engage in rigorous discussion through the lens of visual art.
