Let us spend a couple hours talking about leadership and how we define it for ourselves. Who are we as leaders? How does leadership differ from management? How do we bring out the best in our people and create environments where they can thrive? We’ll take a look at some of the leading best practices of leadership and turn them upside down to discover authentic and transformational leadership.

6:30 pm—8:30 pm
Physical Literacy in the Early Years Developing physical literacy is an essential part of healthy
child development. Children who are exposed to a
multitude of movement experiences in a variety of
environments are more confident and competent movers,
thus giving them a greater chance of remaining active
throughout their lifespan. The first five years of a child’s
life are the most important in terms of
development, as the brain is busy
growing and creating neural
connections with each new
experience. The more a child moves their body in different ways, the more
connections that are created and the more that child explores those movements,
the stronger those connections become, building a strong foundation for future
learning and development
Presented by: Jodi Minton, Be Fit For Life Network
100 Sessions—9-10:30 am

Reach, Twirl, Curl Up Small Jodi Minton Be Fit For Life Network
This hands on session will walk you through three resources created by Be Fit For Life to help leaders

Why Do Children Act the Way they Do? Theresa Suderman Chairperson of Department of Human Services at Grande Prairie Regional College
This workshop examines how children are genetically “wired” with temperament traits that make
each child’s reactions to the world unique. Using a variety of fun, interactive learning activities, the 9
temperament traits and 3 temperament clusters are introduced. Participants learn effective strategies
for working with children with all types of temperaments.
Vocabulary: the link between language and literacy Terrah Lindsay
Department Liaison for the Children’s Centre Demonstration Program
Vocabulary development has an impact on children’s reading comprehension and academic success.
The larger a child’s oral language vocabulary, the easier it will be for them to understand what they
are reading. Come to this session to reaffirm what you already know (in a fun way!), for some hands-
on experiences and for some affordable inspirations for your everyday interactions. Some loose
parts/books will be shared.
Loose Parts: the alluring materials that captivate children Sandra Friesen Peters Early Learning Consultant
Supports to Early Learning and Child Care Programs
This Reggio inspired workshop will explore the nature of loose parts; their ability to transform the early
childhood learning environment; how they provoke meaningful play experiences and how to begin your
own journey with loose parts.

changing outcomes.

Multi-culturalism in the Classroom: fostering respect, understanding and discovery Val Crosby Executive Director of High Level Toy Lending Library Society
How do we bring a multi-cultural environment to life in the classroom? This session will explore creative
ways to embrace our diversities and create a shared experience of discovery. Bring your best strategy to
share with the group.
Keep Calm and Glitter On Theresa Suderman Chairperson of Department of Human Services at Grande Prairie Regional College
Creating a 'wonder'ful program for children requires that educators carefully and thoughtfully plan and
prepare experiences which tickle children's senses and open the door to natural discovery. Learn how to
create aesthetically pleasing, affordable experiences that invoke curiosity and wonder. Open to the
entire early learning and child care sector, especially those working with infants (0 to 18 months) and
toddlers (18 to 30 months).
