Nominated By: WCD Coach Jaylynn Blagg
I have chosen to nominate the teaching staff that I coach because they have embraced learning what STEAM is and what it can look like in the infant, toddler and preschool environments. This is our first intentional year of planning, preparing and implementing STEAM focus activities in our classrooms. Each staff member has engaged in planning, preparing and implementing STEAM activities such as; sink and float, building a movable vehicle, building a cocoon, attaching letters to the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree, building bridges, exploring water, and constructing a house. As I video them it has been a privilege to see the joy and excitement on their faces as they see the “SPARK for learning” that they have ignited in the children. They have also demonstrated the commitment to working through challenges and continuing the journey of implementing STEAM focused activities. Their perseverance is inspiring to me! I am thankful to be their coach.
I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Head Start WEST’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
