Workshop Description

In this webinar, educators will learn how to use rhymes to CONNECT, ENGAGE and EDUCATE children using the Connected Start Method. The focus is connecting with children through the use of puppets, rhymes and play. The rhymes used incorporate Indigenous land acknowledgment, student well-being, and opportunities for various inquiry topics. The second focus is to empower and build educator confidence with the intent to eliminate challenging behaviours and improve educator well-being.
