What should we teach? Integrated TK curriculum for DLLs

Laurie Olsen, Ph.D., SEAL Founding Director and Strategic Adviser, Sobrato Family Foundation

Young children experience the world, construct ideas and build knowledge in an integrated manner. This workshop focuses on designing TK curriculum that integrates powerful language development with learning about the world through science and social studies-based thematic units. Building upon the Preschool Foundations and looking towards Kindergarten standards, teachers will learn how to construct thematic units that touch all aspects of the day. Examples, videos and templates for planning thematic units will be shared.
