Small Group, Big Learning: Making Learning Centers Work

In a small group children use more language, have more influence on the activity, and are able to collaborate on ideas. Learning Centers are the ideal way to include a small number of young children in meaningful and focused activities.

Investigate the elements that will make Learning Centers invite children to be engaged and persistent. Discover how language and literacy can be integrated into every Center the children use. Identify ways to observe and evaluate socio-dramatic play to help document the learning that is taking place.

This session will include everything you need to know about creating, organizing, and managing Learning Centers. Many visuals, observations, and experiences will be shared from early childhood classrooms—-to demonstrate the many possibilities that exist in Centers.
