It is about our intent – are we willing to let the child explore and create without our interference? Coach's Column Paulette Maggiacomo July 9, 2020 Kisha Reid hooked me into her conference session immediately when she said, “Every single day I see something magical happen in the early childhood classroom” . That is what classrooms should be - a magical place where children are given the freedom to explore what interests them, with materials that are not manufactured, and allowing for children to use them in ways adults may not have thought about. This is the premise of Loose Parts, a term that is credited to Simon Nicholson in 1971. He felt that when children were provided with toys that served only one purpose, it took away all the fun and the crucial learning experiences that come from the creative process. It requires a change in our mindset to understand this premise. Instead of looking at a manufactured toy that normally serves one purpose, we change to, let’s see what a child can do with this material. As Kisha was transitioning her mindset - it doesn’t happen overnight - she still had plastic toys in her classroom. One of these was a castle in bright colors. Two of the boys wanted to take it outside (what is cool is that loose parts don’t just belong in one place – they can be transported to where a child wants to use it). They found a plastic tube and fit it through the castle, then they poured water through and it creating a moat. Who would have thought of that? Not me, that’s for sure. Another change in our mindset is that the best loose parts are the ones you don’t care about - it doesn’t matter if they break, are hammered on or painted on. Hmmmm, that doesn’t sound right. Let me re-phrase: It is about the child’s experience. It is about our intent – are we willing to let the child explore and create without our interference? Examples of loose parts are endless. Kisha finds many through her school families. or at thrift shops, recycling centers, and lumber stores. Of course we may have parts in our home or classroom. Think outside the box: Water, sand, sticks, leaves, flowers, pinecones, shells, bark, feathers, rocks, balls, tires, buckets, containers, digging tools, chalk, ribbons, fabric, spoons, cups, funnels, wood scraps, foam, cardboard, spools….the list is endless. I promise you that once you are open to the concept of loose parts, you will never look at things the same again (just like when we walk through the Dollar Store)….you will see it through the eyes of a child as a material to explore with and learn from. Kisha's Top Five The plastic shelving that you put together. She brought these outside and the children took them apart to make forts and stages Boxes, plastic crates, wooden crates Sand Water Ladders in all sizes – yes, she has the 10 foot ladder outside. When children want to move it, it requires communication, negotiation, and leadership. You may be wondering, how does using loose parts add to my toolbox when dealing with challenging behavior ? Kisha pointed out that when we use manufactured toys, there is usually a small number of them – but with loose parts, there are so many rocks, shells, etc. and that in of itself lowers behavior problems. Look at the following example: Briana and Kaitlin want the same stick and start having a tug of war with it. Kisha does the following: She observes and assesses to see if her intervention is needed She puts her hand on the stick to neutralize the struggle She asks if they are having fun If the answer is yes, then she walks away but continues to observe. If the answer is no, then she uses a strategy called sportscasting . She asks “What can we do?” then repeats what the children say in the form of a question so that the children are coming up with the solutions. There is no time limit to this discussion. It could take one minute or it could take ten, but the idea is to let the children be the problem solvers. Sometimes, a third child may come over and have an idea that works. Kisha stresses that it is important to acknowledge the feelings of the children. When you name the feeling, it takes the behavior down a notch. On a side note, I am embarrassed to say that there were times in my classroom when I said, Fine, I will take this and put it away because you don’t know to share. What skills did I give my children to deal with this in the future? How did I fill their tool box? How did I fill mine? How you set up and organize the environment can have a big influence on the success of loose parts in the classroom: Everything has a home but it can be moved from center to center, indoors to outdoors, and outdoors to indoors There is no time limit – projects can be saved until the next day or the next free play There is no limit as to how many children can be in one place at a time – I know that is so hard for some us. Children will figure out. How do you start? Kisha shared that it is an uphill transition but once it becomes the norm it is smooth sailing. She suggested to first take out all of the plastic food in the kitchen area and replace it with paper, play dough, shells, pine cones, and pom-poms. Allow the children the creativity to use those materials instead. Once you see how this is successful, try another area. Remember, if you take baby steps the transition will be successful. You can also make collections in baskets and allow them to go home to let the children create. Let the parents see the benefits of using loose parts.

What is a “quality learning program” and what does it look like in an early childhood setting? Coach's Column Susan Roberts March 1, 2021 What is a “quality learning program” and what does it look like in an early childhood setting? Is the definition of quality different for a director, a teacher, or anyone else at your center? Or do you all have a common vision of what you feel your center should be like for children and families? These are questions that we will delve into during the next workshop, Pathway to Quality on Saturday March 13th. Our presenter, Judy Jablon from Leading for Children will present the three elements of high-quality early childhood programs and how they work together to improve outcomes for all children. The three elements are: Relationships and Interactions Emotional and Physical Environment Learning Experiences Here are two scenarios. Both of these classrooms have good activities happening. In which do you think quality learning is taking place? Which part of Classroom A or B do you feel are or are not quality learning? Both classrooms are safe and clean. They both have two attentive and caring teachers and children of the same age. Classroom A One teacher is standing to the side supervising children sitting at tables. The tables have puzzles, matching games, books and a collection of plastic trees and animals found in the forest. The table activities are related to the theme of the week: trees. The second teacher is helping children glue precut paper roots, trunks, and leaves to make a tree. The classroom is calm and quiet. The children raise their hand and ask to go to another group when they have completed their table activity. The same activities will be repeated tomorrow so all children have a chance to experience every activity related to the theme. Classroom B One teacher is sitting on the floor talking to a group of children gathered around items they picked up from the playground. Sticks, pieces of wood, rocks and leaves are scattered on the floor. Some children start sorting the items into groups. Others start to sort the groups by color, shape, and length. The teacher notices and asks them what they are doing and why. Another child gets up to get a magnifying glass. The second teacher starts to make a design with the leaves, sticks and rocks, talking about what she is doing. Children add to her design or start their own. One has made a tree out of the sticks and leaves. The classroom has a steady sound of conversation and children are calm. Tomorrow the children will take their mats outside to look up through the tree branches to the sky. They will also “feel” the tree and make bark rubbings. Think about these classrooms in terms of the three elements of high-quality early learning programs. Think about the learning experiences in your classroom. During our next newsletter we will reflect further into what a shared vision of quality looks like, how it is reflected in your center, and how it can improve your center. Until then!

This was an incredible insight for all of us as educators in our path to high quality engagement. Coach's Column Amanda Gooch November 1, 2022 It was incredible seeing those of you who were able to join us at Childcare Resources’ most recent professional development day featuring Mr. Alan Guttman formally from the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. Mr. Guttman has come to us with more than forty years of service children and families including twenty years leading Head Start programs. For those of you that weren’t able to join us, our training focused on the importance of play and engagement in learning. We also discussed emergent literacy and nurturing pre-reading and pre-writing in early childhood education. He showed us factors that contribute to and support literacy. We enjoyed his in-depth discussions on the benefits of recognizing levels of engagement in young children. He emphasized paths we take as educators towards high quality engagement when creating learning environments that support frequent and long periods of engagement. One of my favorite parts of the training was our introduction to the R.A. McWilliam’s Scale for Teachers’ Assessment of Routines Engagement (STARE). As we observed videos of teacher-child interactions, we rated the amount of time the child is engaged with adults, peers, and materials. We also rated the complexity of the child's engagement. This was an incredible insight for all of us as educators in our path to high quality engagement. Mr. Guttman reviewed the Classroom Assessment Scoring Systems’ (CLASS) dimension Regard to Child Perspectives. This dimension captures the degree to which the teacher’s interactions with children and classroom activities emphasize children’s interests, motivations, and points of view and encourage children’s responsibility and independence. As your Early Childhood Education Coach I am here to help you focus on child engagement and work as a collaborative team to enhance your practice. We will focus on ways in which to create child led activities, be flexible in our plans within those activities, and make an effort to emphasize children’s interests which facilitates learning. These elements of the classroom will become more valuable to us as we use them in engaging children and providing learning opportunities for effective teaching. Back to Coaching Back to Newsletters
