To effectively deliver Emergent Curriculum for young children, many skills must be learned.  Each of the
skills listed below is supported by a workshop delivered by Marcia Arpin.

YEAR ONE
Training Session #1: An Overview of Emergent Curriculum

Training Session #2: Observing Young Children at Play

"I was at your workshop in Winnipeg last week. Thank you. Your explanation of observations was
phenomenal and enlightening. When I showed my supervisor my handout and said that this kind of
observations make sense, she wholeheartedly agreed. I can't wait to see what a difference this will
make in our room and hopefully in our whole center. Thanks again."  Elaine Wagner


"Hi Marcie, I attended both of your Emergent Curriculum sessions in Dryden. You speak from the
heart and it is easy to see how passionate you are about children and all that you do for them
. You are
an inspiration. Thank you for your insights into the program.
" Violet King, Vermilion Bay Nursery School

Training Session #3: Connecting Observation to Curriculum Planning - Learn to develop observation
skills of young children at play.  As a group, we will learn how to use these observations to inspire

Words of Wisdom

"Our first and most important goal
delight, curiosity, and inquiry in the
classroom. Doing so has been proven to
build intrinsic motivation (coming from
within the child) and a long-term love of
learning. These are the greatest gifts
our teachers can give a child in
preparation for their primary school
experience.”
