Teaching Children How to Look at Mistakes as Opportunities

Wednesday March 7, 2018       Time 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm       2 hours 

Fee: $35.00      FCC Fee: $20.00 (Promo Code)                                                                                                

Being an Early Childhood Educator can be a very stressful job and with all the policies, procedures, regulations and licensing requirements it is no wonder that we all sometimes make mistakes. If our own mistakes are seen as areas for personal growth rather than a circumstance to shame and blame, we can easily teach the children we care for by ‘doing’ and role modelling positive behavior between ourselves and our coworkers. The aim of this workshop is to get you thinking about your own personal development and how this significantly aids your ability to teach children these valuable life lessons.

Objectives:

  • Investigate our assumptions of perfection.
  • Explore the question: Do we always need to be “right”?
  • Discuss how avoiding blame or responsibility restricts your creativity and progress.
  • Find strategies to help turn mistakes in to valuable learning opportunities.

* Suitable for students, adult instructors/administrators, novice, intermediate and experienced early learning child care professionals working with children of any age from infant/toddler, preschool to school age children, including children with extra support needs.

Presenter: Vikki Moore. Vikki has been working in the child care field for 15 years; she has a BC ECE Certificate with IT/SN. She brings a wealth of experiential knowledge from various roles within the early education field as an IT and Outdoor Educator, director and instructor positions here in Vancouver and creating innovative child care programs in Europe. She is also the founder of the Passion is Possible ECE Collaborative Community Network.
