Precipitation Education: Ideas to Embrace the Rain

Suitable for all early learning professionals.

Presenter: Karen Begley

Wanting to feel more excited about learning and playing outside during the rainy months? Join us for a lighthearted and practical conversation about the opportunites, challenges, and logistics of programming in wet, cold, and soggy situations. We'll talk about how to shift mindsets about the rain, how to dress to stay warm and dry, play invitations involving puddles, potential inquiry studies that may emerge when being in the rain, and more.

Karen Begley supports and empowers educators to feel fantastic about the work they are already doing by making connections between their underlying values, everyday programming, and pedagogical theory. Her playful style makes for interactive workshops that generate new ideas and increase participants' confidence and competency to bring practical and enriching experiences to the children in their care.
