Little Steps Are Big With Little Ones: Learning Difference for Preschool  with Beverley Furrow

One in every five children in the US have learning differences, yet only a fraction of these students are getting the help they need. The early detection of developmental delays is key to getting the interventions this special segment of our school population really needs. We need to do all we can in this area because every child in our schools is “fearfully and wonderfully made” for God’s purposes (Psalm 139:14; Eph. 2:10). This workshop will explore how our youngest population can be supported and how they can get the help they need. Topics for discussion include: • What is meant by learning differences. • Common delays we see at the earliest ages. • Processes for identification of possible learning differences. • A few practical ideas for intervention and meeting needs.

By the end of this session, you will be able to identify and recognize early warning signs of potential learning struggles. You’ll also be equipped to apply the process for identifying learning differences and use interventions that meet the unique needs of your students in the classroom. Core Competency: Observation, Screening and Assessment

We Were Made to Move: Why Moving Makes Kids Better Learners with Dr. Julie Hartman

Acts 17:28 tells us, "In Him we live and move and have our being," highlighting that movement is essential to our existence. While educators have long recognized that movement energizes learners, recent research shows it's crucial for effective learning. Studies reveal that movement enhances attention, memory, language skills, problem-solving, and self-regulation, while also supporting physical growth and emotional well-being. Join us to discover how integrating movement into teaching aligns with God's design for children's optimal development and maximizes their learning potential.

Learn how movement plays a crucial role in key areas of learning, such as attention, memory, language acquisition, problem-solving, and self-regulation, as supported by recent research in education, neuroscience, and psychology. Educators will also gain practical strategies for incorporating movement into their classrooms to boost student engagement, physical development, and emotional well-being, all while aligning with educational and biblical principles. Additionally, be able to explain how movement fosters not only academic growth but also supports physical and emotional development, reflecting God's design for holistic student growth.
