Physical Movement and Vermont’s Early Learning Standards Deb Norris February 12, 2020

This dynamic, interactive session will look at the relationship between your state’s early childhood education Standards and physical activity in early education programs. Participants will learn a variety of activities for multi-age groups. We discuss ways to adapt activities for different ages and abilities. Participants will use the standards to create intention when planning for physical movement. Participants should come ready to participate in comfortable clothing to play in. If weather permits, we will go outside. Prepare for laughter and fun! Objectives: (1)Participants will be able to directly apply their learning into their programs following session through hands-on learning and resource sharing. (2) Participants will be able to apply their knowledge of physical activities to Vermont Early Standards to intentionally plan for their programs. (3) Participants will practice activities to make adjustments for their specific group's ages and stages.
