Informed Intentionality: Choosing Materials That Promote Content Learning

Early childhood teachers love their classroom materials almost as much as children do. It’s the very “stuff” of active engagement. But not all classroom stuff is created equal.
Join us for this hour-long webinar, in which we will address important questions about intentionally selecting and presenting classroom materials.
- What stuff is the right stuff?
- How much stuff is too much stuff?
- How can I possibly organize all that stuff?
- Why is “cute” the wrong benchmark?


It’s back-to-school season, and that means that educators and caregivers everywhere are busy preparing for the year ahead. The good news is that today’s teachers have access to more resources and more information than ever before. But all those choices can quickly become overwhelming.
Throughout this four-part webinar series, we explore the concept of informed intentionality, because though intentionality is essential, it is not enough by itself to ensure the decisions you make will deliver the outcomes you desire.
Join us as we cut through the beginning-of-the-year noise to discuss how to be both informed and intentional. We look at what’s essential in an early childhood classroom, what’s nice to include if time and resources allow, and what you don’t need to worry about at all.
