This episode is actually a repeat...meaning I lost the first recording and had to go back and ask Isela to sit and chat with me again. I'm so glad she said yes because I remember the 1st recording brought me to tears (in a good way) and so did this one. Whether you are a leader by title or not, this episode if for you! In it, we dig into what it means to show up and be open-hearted. Not just with our staff, but with families, with children, with one another. We also dig into what it means to be a leader and explore practical tips for how to be a better leader, and to be honest, a better human being. Be sure to grab this episode's freebie too...it's a leadership bundle from Dr. Garcia, which includes her: Barriers to Effective Communication Leadership Skills Infographic Communication Connection Sandwich Learn more about Dr. Garcia's work at https://www.alesigroup.com/

For me...this quote from Ijumaa Jordan says it all! I'll allow your initial shock, but we're still going to move forward. It's not going to stop us. We still had to talk about...we still have to move forward, because right now children are being harmed-" Ijumaa Jordan Here are just a few of the topics we dive into: Developing humility Classroom rules Characteristics of the White dominant culture Referring to others as our "friends" Implications for prioritizing the individual over the collective Where White Supremacy "shows up" in professional development And so much more! And so, we can grow together, because that gives me hope. It's not necessary that we actually have to know the same thing or do the same work, but that we're willing to do the work together to make those, the changes that we want, to move to that world where all needs are met, where there's no lack. ~ Ijumaa Jordan, ECE Consultant ijumaajordan.com

In this bonus Pre-K Teach & Play podcast episode, I sit down to talk with Pat Radel, a special education lawyer, advocate, and father. We start off by sharing what he know as of April 7, 2020 about serving students on IEP during the pandemic. We then explore 20 U.S.C. 1414 (d)(1)(A)(i)(I)(bb) that states - IEP shall identify “for preschool children, as appropriate, how the disability affects the child’s participation in appropriate activities” The bulk of our conversation centers on 5 underutilized aspects of the IEP. Student Strengths - 20 USC 1414 (d)(3)(A)(i) Concerns of the Parent - 20 USC 1414 (d)(3)(A)(ii) Communication/Assistive Technology - 20 USC 1414(d)(3)(B)(iv) & (v) Supports for School Personnel - 20 USC 1414 (d)(1)(A)(i)(IV) - statement of services “to be provided to the child, or on behalf of the child” - 20 USC 1414 (d)(3)(C) - “support for school personnel” - e.g. information on specific disability & implications for instruction  (Note - Official Comment to the enabling regulation makes it clear that this refers to support to meet unique & specific needs of child, not general in-service)  Parent Counseling & Training - definition of “related services” under 34 CFR 300.34  We end the conversation (abruptly due to tech issue on my end) about eligibly determination at this time. We specifically explore the requirement to administer a standardized test.   To learn more about Pat go to https://www.getnicklivingston.com/

I've been talking with so many fellow ECE {r}evolutionaries these past few weeks. I see you and I hear you.  In these unprecedented times, having to think about how best to support children on IEPs can feel overwhelming...and maybe even a bit scary. And while information can help some of us with our anxiety...it can also add to the confusion and uncertainty. There are so many opinions and ideas coming from districts and everywhere you look on social media. There are endless ideas and things being sent home with families on how best to “homeschool” students. Yet are these practices in line with our core values of family-guided practices, differentiation, and embedding during play and daily routines? I thought I'd join the conversation - and take it in a slightly different direction. In this bonus Pre-K Teach and Play podcast episode I'm joined by early childhood special education expert and professional development provider, Beth Diedrick. Here are the big ideas that we cover in our conversation: Practices that support a strong home-school connection and partnership versus trying to "do school" at home. Considerations for children who have diverse abilities and an IEP in place - not from a legal perspective, but in terms of supporting their growth and development.   Possibilities for our field - and ultimately our children - that are emerging in this time of uncertainty.

Mona and Christine field a couple of questions from the Peds Therapy Collective FB Group. We also discuss a great resource for feeding challenges with children from My Munch Bug LLC and Melanie Potock. https://mymunchbug.com/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode Michelle is joined by the hostess with Venita Litvack, MA, CCC-SLP, of “The Speechie Side Up” Podcast and SLP Blog. Today they cover all “thangs” AAC. Ever struggled to find credible resources for learning more about theory and history of best practices behind pediatric AAC, or how to implement AA with a complex pediatric patient, or… and here is the kicker…getting the daycare teachers or the ECSE on board with using the device within their classrooms? Venita is here to take those frustrations and worries away! Enjoy the nerdy-gal conversation between two podcasters who love their field and particularly AAC!

You've seen the posts right? The ones that talk about the dangers of screen time and children's brains. How caregivers are more interested in texting than connecting with their children. And how secondhand screen time is the new smoking epidemic. But what can you believe when it comes to children and screens? What about district policies that promote the use of screens with young children? In this episode, which was so good (and so long) I had to divide it into two parts, my guests and I raise the fact that there is not a common definition of "screen time". This has huge implications for all of those posts and policies devoted to this very hot topic. We also kicked the episode into high gear by sharing advantages. as well as the downsides, when it comes to our 24-7 access to screens. Spoiler alert, there are more and more downsides as we see it. NOTE: This is part 1 of a 2 part series on screen time and young children.

In this episode, I talk to Alyssa Blask Campbell about supporting and intentionally teaching self-regulation. Or as Alyssa would say, “Helping tiny humans process big emotions”.   In this episode, we delve into the difference between coping mechanisms and coping strategies, what self-regulation is (and isn’t), and myths about how children learn to become increasingly self-regulated. What You Will Learn The difference between coping mechanisms and coping strategies and how to use them to help children (and even yourself) process big emotions How the way self-regulation is “marketed” often misses the point by focusing on children learning self-control vs. expressing emotions, and why its important to let children express how they feel even when it is inconvenient to you How to set or maintain boundaries with children while also giving them the opportunity to process their emotions Why we should stop using the word “reinforcement" How sensory integration plays a major role in emotional regulation What the collaborative emotion processing (CEP) method is and how to implement it to respond to children’s emotions in a way that builds their emotional intelligence

In this episode you'll learn about my six reasons that pacing guides, and other means to standardized curriculum, won't help young children thrive in school or in life.   This episode is for you if…  You’ve ever asked, “Why do we use pacing guides in Pre-K?”  You’ve helped create a pacing guide and were left feeling less than satisfied.  You want to ensure all children in your program have the same opportunities but don't want undermine your teachers or standardize the process of early learning. This episode's freebie is a handout that contains links to several Big Ideas for Early Learning resources. Go to https://prekteachandplay.com/podcast31 to request.

In this episode, I take on the topic of quality curriculum for inclusive Pre-K programs. And for those who think it comes in a "box" or is delivered to your door...it's not! This episode is for you if...  you've ever asked, "What is the best curriculum to be using with young children?”  you're currently in search of a curriculum, particularly for use in a blended pre-K program  you've been wondering, beyond licensing stars and steps, "Is this program of high quality?” you're a policy maker or a leader aiming to align early-childhood-recommended practices with other educational initiatives and requirements An eight step process for selecting and implementing a quality curriculum is shared (free download at https://prekteachandplay.com/podcast30).  Listeners can also access the transcript and request our free Quality Curriculum Framework Rating Rubric at https://prekteachandplay.com/podcast30.

In this podcast, Michelle is joined by the dynamic Mrs. Diane Postman of Yorktown, VA to demystify how AAC and emergent literacy can work in an ECSE classroom with a “push-in” approach. We are not talking swapping out pictures for objects here folks, but data drive core-vocab with real-life examples! Hilarity, albeit in a geeky fashion, does occur in this most functional of discussions!

Ms. Karina McCollam, ECSE teacher, joins Michelle for this interview, where we have that crucial conversation about IFSP to IEP transitions. Do you despise that “ohhh-to-common” breakdown in communication during this critical period too? Sit back and enjoy as functional strategies are discussed to address this concern.

We all know that learning centers, and center time for that matter, play a key role in the delivery of early experiences for children. So what's the downside and how can they be improved to support wholeness and integrated brains? This episode is for you if: You'd like to take a more intentional look at how to best design learning centers You want to ensure a "YES Brain" approach to early learning You're supporting other educators and want to know "What makes a good learning center?" Episode includes a free download with seven strategies to ensure learning centers are engaging, designed in ways that build upon children's interest and different abilities, and incorporate a "healthy mind platter".

In this podcast, I am speaking with Dr. Kristi Pretti-Fronczak again but this time, we are answering a question from one of her ECSE teams about a child who just won't join the group or any other activity for that matter. The team wants to know how to teach and what IEP/IFSP goals to write for this child and situation. Listen in as we hash this one out together!
