Early Ed Book Study: The Power of Presence
Description
Elizabeth Joy Erwin, EdD stated, ?It is my hope that the practices and ideas offered on the following pages will spark joy, elevate well-being, and promote a deeper sense of personal inquire as we collectively and consciously plant seeds of mindfulness at home and around the world.?(p.1) She recognizes there are numerous books on mindfulness and children available, but this is one of the first books, to her knowledge, that offers an in-depth inquiry into mindfulness practices and early childhood education framed within a social-justice perspective.
Throughout this book study, you will explore mindfulness practices from this concept of an extension of brain-based learning by focusing (reading), feedback (discussions and Zooms) and reflection (personal reflection journals) to begin a journey of mindfulness practices and how to apply the approach with young children.
During this blended 5-week book study, you will complete weekly book readings and engage in online and reflective journaling activities. Additionally, you will participate in 2 live Zoom conversations with peers.
Live Zoom conversations will be held on Thursday at the end of weeks 2 and 4. Zoom conversations require you to use a webcam or front-facing camera to create a more interactive and engaging learning experience.
Registration includes a copy of the book, The Power of Presence Teaching by Elizabeth Joy Erwin, EdD.
This course is appropriate for all early care and education professionals working with infants, toddlers or preschool-aged children, in center-based, preschool, or family child care programs.
