BKLYN Early Childhood Educator Series: Gender Development, Expression and Play
Gender Development, Expression and Play (CTLE Credits: 3)
In this workshop, we will learn about and discuss gender development in young children. Through discussions of how rigid gender roles and stereotypes can limit children's growth and self-expression, we will collectively develop and role-play strategies to facilitate expansive gender performances and to create inclusive classrooms which support a variety of gender expressions. We will also discuss a variety of ways to resist the perpetuation of harmful gender stereotypes – from rethinking how we praise children to how we organize the classroom – and strategies for working with family members who are struggling with their children's gender non-conforming dress or behavior.
Agenda:
1pm-1:30pm: Registration, refreshments, and library resources.
1:30-4:30: training (3 hours=3 CTLE credits)
4:30-5pm: evaluation, CTLE paperwork, library resources.
Trainer: New York Early Childhood Professional Development Institute
