Sally Haughey, founder of Fairy Dust Teaching, knows all too well the frustration of hearing “play is not learning.” It seems that the academic pressures on young children is only increasing. It is hard. Hard on the children. Hard on us.

That’s why she is hosting a conference focused on play. This conference was created to give a practical emergent curriculum inspiration and arm you with the knowledge that play is truly an academic foundation. This conference is a comprehensive training in play based, child-centered learning. You will not only gain a deeper understanding but also fresh ideas to implement in your classroom!

She has gathered some of her heroes of play based learning: Teacher Tom Hobson, Carol Kranowitz, David Elkind and more.

Every session has a specially crafted action pack so you can take the best of the session and put into action in your own teaching practice.

This is an online conference that you can watch live or at any time after the interview has been released. You will have lifetime access to the interviews.

The cost is $117 before June 30, or $147 starting July 1. You will receive a 15-hr professional development certificate. Look for the link for group savings.
