CURRICULUM TRAINING FOR TEACHERS

IMPLEMENT FROG STREET WITH FIDELITY

In this curriculum training for teachers, we will review the curriculum components to gain an understanding of how they are used for instructional purposes. Daily, intentional lesson sequences for social-emotional development using Conscious Discipline® strategies will be modeled. Teachers will review content area skills integrated into daily lessons representing all domains (Social Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical). Application of learning will be approached through group activities to model key lessons.

Follow-up Training will expand your knowledge of the Frog Street curriculum to further increase the effectiveness of its implementation. This curriculum training for teachers provides an opportunity for educators to share their classroom experience to strengthen their understanding of using the Frog Street curriculum with fidelity. Teachers are encouraged to bring questions and findings based on their observations and experiences.

Frog Street coaching focuses on making sure that educators are equipped to implement the curriculum with fidelity. It is designed to foster communication and support, and the intentionality of coaching is reflected when both coaches and educators are prepared for the coaching session. The coaching sequence includes a strategy session, observation, and modeling.

Coaching is support provided to practitioners that is sustained and focused. You can make an impact on the fidelity of your curriculum implementation by making sure teaching strategies are implemented through examining practice, using support strategies, receiving valuable feedback, and then adjusting support or teaching practices. We know a trusting, supportive relationship will be key to the success of coaching. By meeting with one of our experts through a collaborative discussion on a regular basis, you will see positive outcomes for children. These Q&A sessions are a great follow-up to your coaching sessions, Train the Trainer, and other content-related skill development trainings for teachers. Being able to share “coaching highs” and work through “coaching lows” is crucial. This session provides support and teacher training tools to your administrators and program staff and helps you to get specific questions answered quickly.

This course is a customized, in-depth training of the curriculum pedagogy, organization, and implementation strategies.

In addition, the course instructor will review an Administrator Classroom Observation Fidelity Tool and demonstrate examples.

This curriculum training will help families use the Early Literacy Library at Home books to establish a regular reading routine and help them learn foundational, interactive, and purposeful reading strategies to use when reading books with their children.

AIM Observational Assessment is designed to assist early childhood teachers and administrators in making thoughtful and developmentally appropriate decisions for guiding learning and progress from infancy to kindergarten entry. To ensure reliable results, it is important that teachers implement the methodologies of observational assessments with fidelity.

Designed specifically for Pre-K teachers, the Frog Street AIM Criterion-Referenced Assessment is a comprehensive, research-based, direct assessment tool that integrates instruction across developmental domains and early learning outcomes. The Frog Street AIM Criterion-Referenced Assessment provides benchmark data to determine the skill levels and support needed for all learners. It is a web-based scoring and reporting platform that provides instant access to organizational data, parent tools, practice cards, and letters that describe the child’s strengths and areas for growth. The implementation curriculum training provides data collection and assessment strategies for use in the classroom.

Assessment plays a critical role in the ongoing cycle of curriculum and instruction. This course will cover the importance of integrating the AIM assessment into your classroom and how to do that naturally and effectively. Assessment should become an integrated part of your teaching practices and routines, not something completely separate other than the physical documentation. You can collect data through observation, anecdotal records, work samples, audio-video recordings, photographs, or documented conversations. Assessing children in their natural environment as they perform actual tasks should be a functional part of the curriculum and your routine in the classroom.

STELLA is an easy-to-implement, research-based structured story reading designed for emergent bilingual students in K-3rd grade classrooms.

Teachers will review research-based ESL strategies to explore how STELLA lessons incorporate these elements to support students in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Our course will demonstrate how easy it is for teachers to implement STELLA by modeling a lesson. Actively engaging with the STELLA curriculum will highlight its accessibility and useability so that teachers will feel empowered to use STELLA daily.
