On October 24th, Mrs. Bruns and Mrs. Linscott from the Education Pathways program attended the Maine Statewide Early Childhood Education Conference, along with nine of our students, thanks to support from the Maine Department of Education.
Students began the day with an inspiring keynote speaker before diving into breakout sessions focused on child development and strategies for supporting young learners in developmentally appropriate ways. It was an exciting opportunity to learn alongside professionals from across the state.
Mrs. Bruns and Mrs. Linscott also contributed to the conference by helping Dr. Karno from the University of Maine at Farmington lead a session on teaching computational thinking to young children using screenless robots. They shared how these techniques are applied in both our high school classrooms and our nursery school. A highlight of the day was seeing a former student attend their session... bringing the experience full circle!
We’re proud of our students and staff for representing our program with such enthusiasm, professionalism, and a passion for early childhood education.
