About the Program
Is your program interested in exploring implementation strategies relating to Flight curriculum concepts as part of daily educator practice?
As a program, are you curious about where to start and how to align Flight with current educator practice and interactions with children? As a provincial support agency, ARCQE has been awarded a contract to guide curriculum implementation support for all licensed program types (Child Care, Family Child Care, Out of School Care, program and Preschool programs) with a variety of options to support engagement with curriculum concepts.
ARCQE is pleased to share news of expanding opportunities for support with implementation of Flight framework principles in practice. To learn more about pedagogical partner support and the new professional learning series available titled “Possibilities for Practice”, be sure to read the following information handout.
Pedagogical Partners are consultants contracted by ARCQE to work with individual programs guiding course taker studies and supporting onsite and virtual visits to facilitate implementation of Flight Framework concepts in daily practice.
Educators and ELCC programs can join an online professional learning community to connect, share ideas, and learn from one another as we engage in dialogue and conversations about framework explorations in practice.
This six-part professional learning series is particularly relevant for anyone seeking an introduction to the guiding principles of practice intended to inform curriculum implementation. It includes topics like "Responsive Environments" and "Practice of Relationships."
This learner-directed, eight-module series is visually engaging and includes a variety of interactivities to support learning, thinking, and the development of reflective practice. Virtual conversations are hosted weekly throughout the series to allow learners to connect with knowledgeable facilitators and other educators from across our province.
LTPL empowers program leaders to create a personalized Program Learning Plan! This is a professional learning series that provides an indepth study of pedagogical leadership for program leaders in child care settings, family child care, preschool, and school age care.
