The Complementary Curriculum Approach invites teachers to support children’s play, cultivate classroom environments with rich, interesting learning experiences at the core, and commit to equitable classroom practices. The Complementary Curriculum Approach (CCA) identifies four strategic and powerful teaching intentions that supports a child’s right to an educational experience rooted in an anti-bias stance. These intentions will invigorate and strengthen teacher practices and pave the way for meaningful, joyful engagement for children and the adults who work with them. Participants will focus deeply on creating compelling materials via CCA in the classroom and how to use small worlds play to support children’s understanding of their experiences. Tray design will also be featured in this talk.
