Welcome to Playful Teaching and Learning!
My name is Judy Ross, and I have 38 years of experience as an early childhood educator. I've also presented workshops and webinars for local, state, regional, and national conferences for the past 18 years. My workshops highlight 21st century skills (e.g., creativity, innovation, collaboration) and relationship building as the all-important contexts for teaching and learning. I have a wealth of workshops and webinars on a variety of topics, such as integrating Language Arts and STEAM; classroom environment and student engagement; cooking (e.g., "edible engineering", and recipes based on fairy tales and nursery rhymes); innovative afterschool activities; faith-based activities that integrate STEAM and Bible stories; and much more! Please contact me for more information on presenting a workshop or webinar for your organization or site.
If you work with students in Preschool, Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, or multi-age students in an afterschool program, you'll also find engaging, standards-based activity ideas for keeping purposeful play and developmentally appropriate practice at the forefront of teaching and learning.
Come explore new ideas and best practices for playful teaching and learning! Enjoy!
