To further this goal, ETFO defines equity as fairness achieved through proactive measures which result in equality, promote diversity, and foster respect and dignity for all. June 2011 Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 2 Introduction to ETFO Book Clubs The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario is committed to providing professional development for it members in a variety of forms. Teachers are best able to determine what professional development they need to pursue as life-long learners and ETFO Book Clubs are designed for voluntary participation of interested members. As ETFO professional development programs and services continue to evolve to meet the challenging needs of educators and their students, the new season of offerings has been expanded to include ETFO Book Clubs with a focus on classroom management, differentiated instruction, Kindergarten and equity and social justice. Professional book clubs provide an excellent opportunity for members to reflect on their classroom practice, enhance their professional knowledge, and engage in the professional learning that best meets their needs and the needs of their students. An ETFO Book Club is a learning experience that gives educators an opportunity for professional networking, sharing, and reflection through an in-depth examination of ideas, concepts, research, and strategies presented in a professional resource. The main goals of ETFO Book Clubs are: • To enhance the professional knowledge of our members. • To enhance the professional practice of our members. • To foster leadership at the local level. • To implement high-yield, research-based instructional strategies. • To monitor the impact or effects of instructional decisions on students. • To reflect on current teaching practices. When professional book club experiences are tied to the real work of teachers, and to authentic issues they are grappling with in their classrooms, teachers have a deeper understanding of their impact on classroom practice and student learning. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 3 ETFO Book Club Structure ETFO Book Clubs provide an excellent opportunity for our members to enhance their professional knowledge and practice. Participants attend four two-hour sessions that focus on specific chapters of the various resources highlighted, consider strategies they can try in their classroom, and reflect on and share their experiences within a community of learners. As a facilitator, you will contribute to building leadership capacity within our locals in the area of professional development. Roles and Responsibilities ETFO Book Clubs are offered in partnership between locals and the provincial office. Facilitator guides, such as this one, have been developed by members to support you as you facilitate. The Role of the Facilitator An ETFO Book Club facilitator guides a group of participants through an interactive discussion of a selected title. The facilitator organizes the session and conducts the meetings. Group members can expect the facilitator to use open-ended questions, wait time, and paraphrasing to encourage participation. The facilitator also emphasizes the importance of keeping the discussion on track, focusing on one topic or task at a time. The person in this role is not an expert and should remain neutral allowing group members to share different perspectives. All group members are valued and encouraged to participate in their own way. “The most valuable insight a group can have is that the most effective resources for moving ahead are found within their situation and within themselves.” R. Bruce Williams Establishing Group Norms Any group that meets regularly to work together needs to identify a set of norms or ground rules that will help a group do its work and discourage behaviours that interfere with a group’s effectiveness. Norms govern how the group will interact, share, and learn together. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 4 It is ideal to set norms at the beginning of a group’s work together inviting group members to suggest ideal behaviours for groups, eventually refining them into an agreed-upon set of norms. Once established and posted, groups need to continually remind themselves about the norms they have created. Some topics you may want to raise as starting points for discussion with your group are: Expectations for behaviour – How will your group relate to one another within (and beyond) the group? Considering norms in TRIBES such as right to pass, attentive listening, and taking turns, may be helpful. Shared leadership – How will members share responsibility for the group? How will decisions be made about what to read, when to meet, and where to meet be made? Participation and interaction – How will members work together? Considering roles such as recorder, timekeeper, and encourager may ensure that all group members become involved in the discussions. One strategy that may be helpful when reviewing group norms is ‘Round-Robin Reflection’. In this process everyone takes 30 seconds to silently reflect on the extent to which he/she honoured the group’s norms and to what extent it enhanced the group’s work. The facilitator then chooses someone at random to share their reflections. When this person is finished then another group member paraphrases what they have heard. This process is repeated in round-robin fashion beginning with the person to the right of the first speaker. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 5 Building Inclusion Grounding is an excellent inclusion activity for introductory meetings. It serves several purposes including: • establishing a norm for respectful listening; • bringing people into the here and now; • allowing people to connect with one another; and • allowing for expression of hopes and apprehensions. Directions - Each person in round-robin fashion, speaks to these points: • name; • current role; • school; • reasons for joining a professional book club; and • expectations of the ETFO Book Club experience. Powerful Conversations: • Focused • Productive • Interactive Needs of Individuals in Groups Regardless of the nature of the group and its purpose, some basic needs must be met within the group setting for it to be as focused, productive, and interactive as possible. A good facilitator looks for signs of the characteristics listed below to determine whether it provides the kind of satisfaction group members need. Periodically it may be helpful to give group members time to evaluate the extent to which the group is meeting their individual needs. The following are important needs group members value. As the group evolves, it is about finding the balance between the needs of the group members and the group work that needs to be accomplished. Feeling a sense of belonging – Group members need a collaborative environment where they feel safe and supported in their presence and their contribution to the group’s work. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 6 Commitment to group goals – Group members achieve commitment when they see value in the goals selected, having a part in selecting and refining those goals, and directing the group process. Sense of progress – It is important to give group members opportunities to reflect on their progress toward goals so that members feel a sense of accomplishment. Having confidence in the facilitator – A good facilitator establishes a supportive, risk free learning environment emphasizing the importance of professional dialogue. The facilitator organizes the sessions and conducts the meetings. The person in the role of facilitator is not intended to be an expert and should remain neutral, allowing participants to share different perspectives. Knowing Your Participants When developing a group’s capacity for powerful conversations, Robert Garmston suggests that group members set aside unproductive patterns of listening, talking, and participating. However, from time-to-time, facilitators may need to confront challenging situations. Late arrivals at meetings, overbearing participants, and conflict among group members can negatively impact on a group. Although there is no “right” way to respond to these problems, here are some possible solutions to common problems faced by facilitators. Non talker – Honour an individual’s right to pass. Each member has the right to choose when and to what extent they will participate in the group discussion; ask open ended questions and learn to be silent. Underminer – Focus on the agenda and topics agreed upon by the group. Don’t acknowledge or over react; at the end of the session revisit the group norms and their purpose. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 7 Rambler – When the member pauses, refocus attention by restating the relevant points and move on; ask "How does that relate to ________?" Side talker – Re-direct conversation by asking the person an easy question or to paraphrase what has been stated; create a parking lot (flip chart, sticky notes) to post questions or issues that can be discussed in a later session. Over talkative – State "We only have a limited amount of time today. We want everyone to have a chance.” Further Reading Robert Garmston. “Teacher Talk That Makes a Difference”.

Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 8 Introduction to Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu This book provides theoretical information about play based learning and its importance in our kindergarten program. It offers practical information about how to plan different centres and gives specific ideas of what to include. It offers practical schedules and important components of the learning environment. In these sessions participants will learn: • The theory of play-based learning. • Experience Centres. • Planning of centres, activities and long-range plans. • Evaluation of centres. Teachers will leave this book club with practical ideas for their classroom and ways in which to implement them. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 9 Session One: The theory of play-based learning Readings: • Jardin d’enfants, Research concerning play-based learning, pages 3 – 7; The importance of games for children, pages 9 – 11; and Social Development and Games, pages 13 – 18. General Overview: In this session participants will discuss a brief overview of the theory behind playbased learning, the impact of play-based learning on brain development and the importance of learning through play. Thoughts of past and present theories of early childhood education will also be discussed. Key Learning/Objectives: • Look at the key finding in the research of play-based learning. • Understand why games are so important for children. • Reflect on the impact on social development and games Time: 120 minutes Materials: • Line Master 1A – The theory of play-based learning. • Line Master 1B – Les jeux • Chart paper • Markers • Index Cards • Paper Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 10 Instructional Tasks: 100 minutes Icebreaker No. 1 To foster an inclusive and safe environment for sharing begin the session with the following icebreakers. Play the game Marooned (15-20 minutes): Give people a minute or two to think about this question: If you were marooned on a deserted island, which three people would you want with you? They can be dead, alive, or imaginary. Ask participants to introduce themselves and share their choices with the group. Start with yourself so they have an example. Example: “Hi, my name is Deb. If I were marooned on a deserted island, I would want Tim with me because he’s smart, strong, and fun, and I love him. He would know how to make a shelter and find food, and we’d have wonderful conversations. My second choice would be someone who tells great stories, like Garrison Keillor or Eoin Colfer. And my third would be Solomon Burke, the blues singer, so we’d have soulful music.” Debrief by asking if there were any surprises in the group and if anybody has a question for another participant. You will have listened carefully to the introductions. If somebody has chosen a person related in any way to your topic, use that person as a transition to your first lecture or activity. Source: http://adulted.about.com/od/icebreakers/qt/marooned.htm Icebreaker No. 2: To get a sense of participants’ perspective on theories in play-based learning, have them do an inside and outside circle (10 minutes): 1. Split the group into 2, A and B. 2. Have Group A be the outside circle and group B be the inside circle. 3. Put a question or statement on the board. 4. Give participants at least ten seconds to think on their own ("think time"). 5. Ask participants in the inside circle to share their response with the colleague facing them in the outside circle. When they have done this, ask them to say "pass", at which point the participants in the outside circle will share their Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 11 responses with the colleague facing them in the inside circle. 6. Have the outside circle move one step to the left or right and discuss the same question with the new partner. 7. Option: post a new question for another discussion Here are some suggested questions: What are your thoughts on play-based learning? Has your teaching philosophy changed as a result of teaching kindergarten? Source: http://eworkshop.on.ca/edu/pdf/Mod36_coop_inside-outside.pdf Objective No 1 (40 minutes): Look at the key finding in the research of play-based learning. Use the Jigsaw instructional strategy, have the participants read and discuss page 3 - 18. 1. Have 4 “home” groups, for example, Group A, B, C, and D. 2. Assign these pages evenly among the four groups. 3. The “home” groups will review, discuss and summarize the assigned pages for 5- 10 minutes. 4. After 5-10 minutes, ask the “home” groups to divide into groups that have a person from each “home” group. For example, one group will now be a person from A, B, C and D. 5. The new groups will take another 5-10 minutes to share the ideas of the text they reviewed and discussed. 6. The whole group will come together for 5 minutes and discuss their thoughts and findings. Objective No. 2 (20 minutes): Understand why games for children are so important. Participants are paired in groups and they work together to fill out the place mat on games (Line Master 1B in the Support Materials Section). The objective is to discuss and record the difference between games. Participants will discuss as a whole group what they recorded. Objective No. 3 (40 minutes): Reflect on the impact on social development and games. Participants, in pairs, will Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 12 make a list of games that they play in their class and connect it to how it helps their students develop socially. For example, when you play the “roll the ball” game, the students all sit in a circle and as the students roll the ball to each other they say “mon nom est X. Quel est ton nom?” This allows students to get to know each other using kinesthetic learning. They can also share in a big group the different games discussed. They can use a blank piece of paper to record their findings. Reflection: (10 minutes) Using Line Master 1B in the Support Materials Section, have the participants fill out their expectations of the book club. Homework: (10 minutes) Read pages 37-71 in preparation for Session Two. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 13 Session Two: Experiencing Centres Readings: • Jardin d’enfants, pages 37-71. General Overview: In this session, participants will learn, explore and reflect on the key elements of learning centres within the kindergarten classroom. Participants will use the information provided in the text to identify these elements. In general, some key elements of learning centres as described in the text include: ● Encouraging play, exploration, problem solving. ● Improving skills and understanding concepts. ● Addressing all learning styles. ● Helping with social skills. ● Developing language and mathematic skills. Key Learning/Objectives: • To learn about the key elements of learning centres. • To experience learning centres. • To reflect on the elements of the centre that participants have experienced. Time: 120 minutes Materials: • Line Master 2A – Four Questions • Line Master 2B – Experiencing Centres • Line Master 2C – Experiencing Centres • Line Master 2D – Reflection Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 14 • Chart paper • Markers • clock or watch • whistle or any noise maker • glue Instructional Tasks: (100 minutes) Icebreaker (10 minutes): to foster an inclusive and safe environment for sharing. Begin the session with the following icebreaker. 2-Minute Mixer: Materials Needed: A clock or watch and a whistle or some other noise maker. You can also provide canned questions if you want, but it’s not necessary. Adults don’t have any trouble making conversation on their own. Instructions: Ask people to get up, pair up, and chat for two minutes with each other about whatever interests them. You’ll be the timer. When two minutes are up, you’ll blow your whistle or make some other sound loud enough for everyone to hear. When they hear your signal, everyone is to find a new partner and chat for the next two minutes. Source: http://adulted.about.com/od/icebreakers/qt/2minutemixer.htm Objective No. 1 (25 minutes): To learn about the key elements of learning centres. Using the Graffiti instructional strategies, participants will review the following four questions about the key elements of learning centres. Instruction for graffiti instructional strategy: 1. (Prior to session) Print off a copy of Line Master 2A in the support materials section. Cut and paste one question on four pieces of chart paper. 2. (During session) Have participants form four groups in whatever manner you choose appropriate. 3. Give each group a question already placed on the chart paper 4. Have each participants read question and then write their thoughts about the question for two minutes, time this portion so that you have a chance to go through Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 15 each question. 5. Each participant in each group will be writing on the chart paper at the same time. 6. After 2 minutes, have the group switch their question, and then repeat step 4. 7. Once all groups have answered all questions, have the groups discuss their original question for five minutes and they will present to the whole group. Four Questions: 1. What is the goal of a learning centre? / Quel est le but d’un centre d’apprentissage? 2. What elements do you need to have a good learning centre? / Quels sont les composants d’un centre d’apprentissage? 3. How can learning centres help with social development? / Comment est-ce que les centres d’apprentissages aide le développement social des enfants? 4. When you have a well-planned centre what does it allow the students to do? / Quels sortes d’opportunités un centre bien planifié donnent aux enfants? Objective No. 2: To experience learning centres Objective 3 (65 minutes): To reflect on the elements of the centre that participants have experienced. Participants will experience four centres. 1. (Prior to activity) Prepare centres: please see Line Master 2B in the support materials section 2. (Prior to activity) Prepare the glow and grow feedback chart for participants, see Line Master 2C in the support materials section 3. Divide participants into four groups 4. Have the participate go to a centre 5. They will be given 5-10 minutes at each centre 6. Ask them to use the glow and grow feedback found the support materials to reflect on their learning. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 16 7. After 30-45 minutes, come together as a whole group to discuss their findings for 10-15 minutes. Reflection: (10 minutes) Teachers will complete the reflection sheet found in Line Master 2D in the support materials section. Homework: (10 minutes) Next session the focus is on planning centres. Have participants choose a partner and decide what they will need to bring for next session to plan their centre. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 17 Session Three: Planning Readings • Jardin d’enfants, pages 19-26. General Overview: In this session, teachers will discuss how to use long term and short term planning to prepare for their students. In the text, it provides tools to guide your planning. For the short term planning, they suggest themes and describe 6 components to consider. The six components are relevancy, connections, fun, goal, choices, and subject integration. For the long term planning, they offer a planning template on page 21 that includes: expectations, learning goals, evaluation and activities. Key Learning/Objectives: • Planning for the long term and for the short term. • Planning a centre. • Share planning. Time: 120 minutes Materials: • Line Master 3A - Reflection • Chart paper • Markers • wand or stick • blank paper • pens Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 18 Instructional Tasks: (100 minutes) Icebreaker (10 minutes): To foster an inclusive and safe environment for sharing begin the session with the following icebreaker. The Magic Wand: Materials Needed: A flip chart or whiteboard, and markers if you want to record the results, but this will depend on your topic and reason for playing. It isn’t necessary. A fun wand of some kind to pass around would add to the fun. Give the magic wand to the first participant with instructions to give his or her name, say a little something about why they chose this book club, and what they would wish for regarding the topic if they had a magic wand. Example: Hi, my name is Deb. I wanted to take this class because I really struggle with math. My calculator is my best friend. If I had a magic wand, I would have a calculator in my head so I could do math instantly. Source: http://adulted.about.com/od/icebreakers/qt/magicwand.htm Objective No. 1 (30 minutes): Planning for the long- and short-term. Using the Jigsaw instructional strategy, have the participants read and discuss pages 19-26. 1. Have four “home” groups, for example, Group A, B, C, and D. 2. Assign these pages evenly among the four groups. 3. The “home” groups will review, discuss and summarize the assigned pages for 5-10 minutes. 4. After 5-10 minutes, ask the “home” groups to divide into groups that have a person from each “home” group. For example, one group will now be a person from A, B, C and D. 5. The new groups will take another 5-10 minutes to share the ideas of the text they reviewed and discussed. 6. The whole group will come together for five minutes and discuss their thoughts and findings. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 19 Objective No. 2: Planning centres (40 minutes) Activity: Participants will now have time to plan with their partner. They can use the material they have brought to create a centre. The can refer to the text i.e. templates in the book and any other planning materials that they need. Facilitator’s will be there to support the participants and help with any questions that may arise. Materials needed: blank paper and pens for teachers that may need it. Objective three: Share Planning (20 minutes) Activity: Each group will present to the whole group an overview of their planned centres. Reflection: (10 minutes) Participants fill out the reflection sheet for this session, Line Master 3A in the support materials section. Homework: (10 minutes) Ask participants to type up their planned activities to be shared via email to the whole group. Bring evaluation materials and any other questions that participants may have in regards any subject mentioned in the book. Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 20 Session Four: Evaluation Readings: • Jardin d’enfants, pages 22, 28-31. General Overview: We will review the components of diagnostic evaluation, anecdotal observation, and the goal of evaluation. In kindergarten evaluation, the teacher observes, listens and questions the work the student is doing. A good summary can be found at the bottom of page 22. Learning/Objectives: • To discuss different types of evaluation. • To plan evaluation strategies for their learning centres in session three. • Review concepts and questions from all sessions. Time: 120 minutes Materials: • Line Master 4A – Four Questions • Line Master 4B – Reflection • Chart paper • Markers • wand or stick • blank 8 X 11 paper • pens, crayons, pencils, glue Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 21 Instructional Tasks: (100 minutes) Icebreaker (30 minutes): to foster an inclusive and safe environment for sharing. Begin the session with the following icebreaker. Flags is a get-to-know-you activity, helping people express what's important to them or more about themselves. Provide large sheets of paper, crayons, and markers. Ask each person to draw a flag which contains some symbols or pictures describing who they are, what's important to them or what they enjoy. Each flag is divided into 4 or 6 segments. Each segment can contain a picture i.e. favourite emotion, favourite food, a hobby, a skill, where you were born, your family, your faith. Give everyone 15 minutes to draw their flags. Ask some of the group to share their flags and explain the meaning of what they drew. Source: http://insight.typepad.co.uk/40_icebreakers_for_small_groups.pdf Objective No. 1: To discuss different types of evaluation (20 minutes) 1. (Prior to the session) Cut up the four questions, Line Master 4A, provided in the support materials section and glue each questions on a piece of chart paper. Hang each paper in one part of the room, either on the wall or on a table. 2. Provide each participant with a marker and ask them to go to each piece of paper and write their thoughts in response to the questions. 3. Ask participants to reflect quietly as they move around the room. 4. After 10 minutes, ask the group to come together to discuss what was written for each question, the facilitators will guide this portion of the session. 5. Group discussion should be 5-10 minutes. Objective No. 2: To plan evaluation strategies for their learning centres in session three. 1. Teachers pair again with their partners to finish planning the evaluation portion Jardin d’enfants: apprentissage par le jeu ETFO Book Club Facilitator Guide Page 22 of their centres. 2. After 20 minutes participants will share what they have planned. Objective No. 3: Review concepts and questions from all sessions (60 minutes). In this portion of the session, the discussion will be based on the needs and interests of the group. For example, we did not address routines, room set up, or schedules. If the group would like to talk about transitions from half-time kindergarten to full time kindergarten that could be also part of the discussion, classroom management or managing relationships with colleagues. If there are additional centres that would like to be discussed this would be an opportunity to do so.
