SUMMARY:SPANISH - Del Sonido al Sentido: Herramientas Prácticas Para la Lectoescritura - Parte 3 de 4 - Serie Destacada DPP
DESCRIPTION:Parte 1: Lunes 19 de Octubre de 6:00PM-8:30PM\nParte 2: Miercoles 21 de Octubre de 6:00PM-8:30PM\nParte 3: Lunes 26 de Octubre de 6:00PM-8:30PM\nParte 4: Miercoles 28 de Octubre de 6:00PM-8:30PM\n\nDel Sonido al Sentido: Herramientas prácticas para lectoescritura es un entrenamiento de 4 partes diseñado para acompañar a educadores de primera infancia en la comprensión de la lectoescritura como un proceso integral que comienza mucho antes de que un niño pueda leer una palabra o escribir una oración. A través de cuatro sesiones vivenciales\, exploraremos cómo el lenguaje oral\, los sonidos\, el movimiento\, el juego\, las relaciones\, las emociones\, la cultura y las experiencias cotidianas construyen las bases para leer\, escribir\, comprender y comunicar. La investigación científica será presentada de manera clara\, cercana y conectada con situaciones reales del aula. Cada concepto se transformará en estrategias concretas que los educadores podrán experimentar durante el entrenamiento y llevar inmediatamente a sus ambientes de aprendizaje. Más que enseñar actividades aisladas\, Del Sonido al Sentido invita a cambiar la mirada: reconocer que detrás de una canción\, una conversación\, un garabato\, un nombre escrito\, una historia inventada o un libro compartido existe un niño construyendo significado. Porque antes de leer palabras\, los niños aprenden a leer el mundo; y antes de escribir oraciones\, descubren que tienen algo importante que comunicar. \n\n\n\n\n*Las personas participantes que asistan y participen activamente a las 4 partes de esta serie recibirán un certificado de finalización por 10 horas de crédito\, alineadas con las competencias en Colorado Shines. \n**Esta es una Serie de Capacitación Destacada para Educadores de DPP. Los educadores que asistan a esta Capacitación Destacada para Educadores de DPP son elegibles para solicitar los Premios de Logro por un total de $325. Los educadores deben trabajar en un programa/centro con licencia ubicado en el condado de Denver y estar empleados en un salón de clases de preescolar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistrese AquÍ
