A Message From Our Educational Coordinators

It has been our pleasure to support the directors and teachers at All My Children this past school year. We had the privilege of working with many directors and teachers in preparation for the ECERS and CLASS evaluations to ensure that they were in compliance with all Department of Education regulations.

We also provided curriculum support by creating activity packets that were aligned to the Pre-K For All Units of Study and Explorations units. In addition, we helped support the directors and teachers in developing positive social/emotional support in each classroom which included providing resources and modeling positive language and problem solving skills. We modeled best practices as a means to assist the teachers in creating a positive classroom environment, with a focus on positive reinforcement.

We also consistently observed classrooms and remote sessions, provided feedback and assisted teachers with lesson planning as needed. We provided specific guidelines for live and recorded sessions. In addition, we consistently met with teachers and directors to support the social/emotional and academic environment in each classroom.

Furthermore, we helped prepare all of the directors and teachers for remote learning by the directors during remote learning and provided support and feedback when needed in order to optimize learning experiences.

Lastly, we created and facilitated  the following professional developments to provide directors and teachers with progressive support and resources for successful implementation as we move towards providing our students with meaningful, positive, and intentional learning experiences that promote higher order thinking, creativity, and foundational skills:

• Introduction to the Montessori Method,
• ECERS Preparation,
• How Teaching Assistants Can Support Lead Teachers in The Classroom,
• Encouraging Creativity and Authentic Work,
• Introduction to the Reggio Emilia Art Process, and
• Behavior Management and Social Emotional Learning.
• Creating a Positive Classroom Environment

We anticipate another wonderful year working with the dedicated and talented teachers and directors at All My Children during the 2020-2021 school year.
