The Johns Hopkins University, Center for Technology in Education (JHU CTE) is one of three research units within the top-ranked Hopkins School of Education. The focus of JHU CTE has always been on applied impacts – working closely with states, schools, and child care providers to affect positive changes at the system, school, classroom, and home levels that lead to meaningful outcomes for children from birth through 21. The Center has two main focus areas: promoting high-quality, impactful early learning experiences and supporting all individuals with diverse development and learning needs, be it due to developmental delays or disabilities or not.

The Expo2016 Johns Hopkins University Early Child Care and Education Expo

Welcometothefirst-everJohnsHopkinsUniversity,SchoolofEducation,CenterforTechnologyinEducationEarlyChildCareandEducationExpo!Wearethrilledyoucouldjoinustodayaswecelebrateandsharewhatworksforensuringallkidshave a great start in life. Having access to high-quality early learning experiences has been found to have tremendous positive effects in thelivesofchildren.Fromgreateracademicsuccess,tobettersocial-emotionalandphysicalhealth,thesebenefitshavealifetime of impact as children who are more engaged do better in school, are healthier, and tend to have greater success in college, work, and in the community. We launched the Expo as a new way to bring together families, child care providers, teachers, and leaders around what high quality child care for all children - regardless of developmental ability – looks like in all different types of neighborhoods and settings. From the child care center to the home-based care to the public preschool to the after-school program - the quality of that environment matters - and we want to give every adult that touches the life of a child the skills andknowledgetheyneedtobeagentsofchange-drivingthetrajectoryofthatchild’slifetowardpositiveoutcomes.

You will find the Expo designed around three tiers of engagement:

1.) Power of Play - play is an essential part of healthy child development (frankly - any development!) - and we are showcasing this through a series of attractions and events that bring families and their children out to the Expo. Here youwillhavefuntogetherwhilelearningcriticalbenefitsofinteractiveplay.

2.) Engagement Stations - interactive and informational kiosks that educate users on resources, organizations, and projectsthatfamiliesandprofessionalscanaccesstopromotelearning,development,andsafetyforallchildren.

3.) Learning Sessions - hands-on demonstrations of skills and activities designed to model great strategies that parents, providers, and teachers can do right now with their child.

We are grateful to all the sponsors and patrons of this event who donated money, time, and materials to ensure families, children and the professionals who serve them have a pathway to skills, tools, and supports that will have a lifetime effect. Personally, I would like to also thank the most incredible team in the world for pulling this off! Lastly, whether you are a parent or caregiver, teacher or child care provider, or a member of the community at large – every adult who interacts with a child is an educator, so thank you for doing what you do every day for children, for being here now, and for staying connected in the future. We encourage you to sign up to receive updates on any of the initiatives you see here today, from the work we do at Hopkins to all that our great partners offer. Together, we can ensure every child has high quality early care and education!

Child Engagement in Play and Learning as an Indicator of Program Quality

Monitoring protocols and quality rating systems focus primarily on a program’s physical environment and structure; adult-child interactions; staff qualifications; care and education practices; and child outcomes. This workshop will consider the importance of child engagement in play and learning as an indicator of program quality. In this interactive session participants will learn how to define and identify the types and quality of children’s engagement with adults, peers, play activities and instructional tasks. Video segments of children involved in typical classroom activities will be viewed, analyzed and discussed to broaden and deepen participant understanding of how best to support and promote high quality child engagement in learning.
