Sharon MacDonald: Early Childhood Workshops, Keynotes, Books, CDs and Activities
Sharon MacDonald has been a keynoter and workshop presenter on early childhood subjects throughout the United States for more than 20 years. She taught early childhood for 28 years.
Her early-childhood topics include learning centers, math, science, portfolio assessment, and classroom management. She has written more that 25 books on various childhood topics and four interactive music CDs and, more recently, she has become involved in training caregivers of infants and toddlers. Sharon emphasizes the importance of the child's pleasurable experiences with the caregiver.
As a trainer Sharon believes that involvement by workshops attendees is essential to understanding the material being presented, so her workshop and keynote participants sing songs, do physical movement, and do make-and-take activities that they can take back to their classrooms to use immediately.
Teachers, assistants, child care providers, home-schooling parents, and students will find lots of stuff on the site, from keynote and workshop descriptions to activities, articles, and useful books and CDs. There are links to others that offer useful information about early childhood.
A Learning Center Activities section offers activities for different learning-center areas. The Teaching Web Archives section contains nearly two years of thematic-topic activities will be helpful in early childhood settings. The Little Book section shows you how to make pre-designed cutting and folding books that encourage reading. The Environmental Print section will give you lots of ideas for things that can be made from leftovers that you normally throw away.
Sharon has four new children's books published by
Kaplan Early Learning Company. Take a look.
