ACAMIS Early Childhood Education (ECE) Conference
Saturday & Sunday, November 2 & 3, 2024
Beijing City International School
Theme: Playfully Empowering Futures: Reimagining Early Childhood Education
Play is the most empowering form of learning we can provide young children. Dive into a world where playfulness meets empowerment, and imagination sparks innovation.
The following areas under this theme will be explored:
STEAM: Harnessing Innovation for Young Minds
STEAM provides numerous opportunities for young children to slow down and notice. Not only does this enable young children to move beyond an app-based approach to technology, it also extends and deepens their play ensuring authentic learning.
Translanguaging: How might we use children's language identities and resources to create belongings?
Children bring many spoken and symbolic languages and identities. A play based pedagogy recognizes, promotes and encourages children to explore concepts in multiple languages as they connect to their theories and make meaning of their world.
The Power of Play Based Pedagogy
Play-based pedagogical approaches are grounded in the belief that children are active learners who construct their own knowledge through their experiences. Skilled educators take on multiple roles to guide learning experiences through play.
Post Pandemic Well-Being: How are you doing?
How we intentionally connect with and relate to children has never been more important? How might we employ a variety of approaches to support our children and communities face challenges?
Host School
Beijing City International School aims to challenge and empower students to be compassionate and inspired people, who act for the good of all and for the sustainable development of the world.
Being part of BCIS, our key focus at the Early Childhood Center is high quality learning and teaching. We do this through a play-based approach. At the ECC, we value and honor the individual abilities, progress, and discoveries of our early years learners. We have a rich curriculum that embraces the surrounding environment by learning through investigating, creating, discovering, and engaging in a variety of ways throughout our state-of-the-art facilities. All our students benefit immensely from our dedicated and experienced faculty, who work in collaboration to nurture each individual child as they journey through their own learning experiences.
