Webinar Focus: What’s in it for Me?
Take-Aways—• STEM messages – what is STEM and why STEM skills are so important in ECE
now and in our future;
• current research about quality ECE science and math experiences in preschool classrooms;
• how STEM domains promote children’s school readiness outcomes;
• effective ways to use the natural world to support children’s learning and development in Science, Math and other domains;
• key Science process skills of observing, predicting, investigating, classifying, and communicating, which are the basis of critical thinking and learning for children;
• web-accessible resources for staff development that scaffold EC educators to build Science and Math competencies (absolutely over 100 free resources); and
• strategies that teaching staff can use to promote parent/family engagement that is critical to improving the home environment’s learning supports.

1/3 of Americans would rather clean a toilet than do a math problem—what promise does that hold for us?
Is it possible that STEM is central to successful school readiness outcomes for young children?
Let’s closely look at the topicsincluded in STEM, and howoutdoor environments might relate to children’ssuccess in school and In life.

What’s Keeping Teachers from Quality Math and Science in EC Environments?
• Lack of comfort and uncertainty
• Lack of time
• Lack of resources

So What Can We Do About ?
Build teachers’ competencies in four areas:• Planning and implementing learning experiences
that advance the intellectual development of children;
• Creating learning environments that inspire children to ask questions;
• Becoming more aware of children’s questions and responding in ways that challenge their thinking further; and
• Encouraging and supporting the involvement of families in their children’s learning experiences.

Old Words, New Again
• Mathematize—draw out and call attention to math content and processes in children’s experiences; first known use of mathematize—1908
• Scientize Definition: to treat with a scientificapproach –-the attempt to scientize reality, to name it and classify it; first Known Use of scientize—1890

ECLKC Resources for Parents/Families
Help children learn math during everyday--I ncl routines. Parents can mathematize home
experiences including when children are dressing, setting the table, eating a meal, or picking up toys. More options to connect math for children can
happen while at the grocery store orin the park.Share free ECLKC Math and Science resources with parents and families to
extend children’s learning to the home.
