Wait List: Teacher Tom Presents: Speaking with Children so they can Think

Date Oct 19, 2021 | Time 6:30pm - 8:30pm

The language we use creates reality. We all know people who seem to be able to work "magic" with young children, motivating, inspiring, & building relationships with them without raising their voices, bossing them around, scolding, or threatening. Actually, there is nothing magical about it. Teacher Tom shares how the specific words we use shape reality for our students for both good and bad. Participants will learn about the importance of being clear & precise; honoring children without commanding or bossing them; using words to create a world of facts and intrinsic momotivation; creating space in which children must do their own thinking.

He is known for Teacher Tom's Blog and two bestselling books. He shares his pedagogy via online e-courses for early childhood educators & parents; produces international ECE conferences (Teacher Tom’s Play Summit); consults about his "Family Schools" program; and inspires early years audiences around the world. both virtually and in person.
