PRE-CONFERENCE EVENT: Head Start Workshop and Presentation Our friends at Head Start are offering the following workshop and presentation as a free pre-conference event on February 25, 2015, on the campus of the University of Hawai'i, in Kuykendall Hall Room 306. Plan to arrive in Honolulu early enough to attend! 1 pm-4 pm: Making It Work! Presenter: Debra Shuey Making It Work! (MIW!) is a tool that connects traditional cultural skills values, beliefs, and lifeways to preschool children’s school readiness. It encompasses all aspects of curriculum and instruction—from the learning environment to assessment. MIW! provides teachers working with indigenous populations with an approach that intentionally focuses on lifeways and connect their traditional ways with skills that set young children on a trajectory for school success. This session will introduce the process and provide participants the opportunity to explore ways to provide young children with a strong cultural and school readiness foundation. 4:15 pm-6 pm: Language Revitalization in Head Start Presenter: Ruth Rouvier The National Center for Cultural and Linguistic Responsiveness (NCCLR) is developing a set of resources to support language revitalization in Head Start and Early Head Start programs serving American Indian and Alaska Native children ages 0-5. In this session we will share our progress on this project, and hear responses and ideas from session participants. This meeting will be especially relevant to those who work with Head Start or other programs serving children ages 0-5, or with experience or interest in bringing language revitalization with young children.
