Come join us for three free online after-school sessions with one of POPEY’s newest Teacher Consultants – Megan Zeni. The series starts this February, and explores Ministry resources that support learning in the early years. Each workshop runs from 4:15 – 5:15 MST.

Session One: Monday, February 3, 2025
British Columbia’s Early Learning Framework
The Early Learning Framework (ELF) offers practical guidance and pedagogical clarity for educators working with young children aged birth to eight in our province. This session will provide an overview of the ELF and offer guiding principles that can inform our work with young children.

Session Two: Monday, February 24, 2025
Play Today
Play Today is a handbook that serves as a supporting document to the Early Learning Framework (ELF). This session will review the importance of play in all aspects of child development, with practical exemplars of how play can be supported in early learning environments.

Session Three: Monday, March 3, 2025
Learning in the Primary Years
Learning in the Primary Years is a companion document specifically for K-3 teachers offering pedagogical foundations for learning alongside relational teaching practices. This session will highlight the importance of pedagogical choices and how these dynamic decisions influence the ways in which children experience curricular learning along a continuum of play.
