Intentional Planning for Math focusing on the Predictive Indicators for School webinar
The Region IV CSPD is hosting a webinar with presenter Stephanie Leister for early childhood educators.
Number sense is linked to future math achievement in a manner similar to the way phonological awareness has been linked to reading achievement (Kosanovich, Weinstein, & Goldman 2009.) Training will focus on predictive indicators for school success and how to develop a curriculum that includes balanced lesson delivery. Instructional strategies will be introduced that provide children with a variety of opportunities to practice and reinforce those key skills during their daily routines. A wide variety of inclusionary practices will be discussed as well as developmentally appropriate knowledge and skill acquisition strategies that are applicable to increasing the access to the curriculum for all children. This workshop will provide practical research and evidence-based math activities and games that will help students increase their math skills. The session will focus on developing an understanding of number sense as well as the latest methods to develop skills in subitizing, counting, one-to-one correspondence, and cardinality. Plan to join this training and learn some fun activities that will allow you to create engaging and positive math experiences for children!

Developing Children’s Number Sense webinar
The Region IV CSPD is hosting a webinar with presenter Stephanie Leister for early childhood educators.
This session will focus on developing better understanding of this learning trajectory, as well as the latest methods to develop skills in subitizing, counting, one-to-one correspondence, cardinality, and hierarchical inclusion. Intentional “in the moment” strategies to effectively respond to young children’s mathematical thinking will also be addressed. Note: This session aligned to the Montana Learning Standards (MELS) for the domain of Cognition.

Executive Functioning: Skills That Make a Big Difference for Children webinar
The Region IV CSPD is hosting a webinar with presenter Stephanie Leister for early childhood educators.
Adaptable thinking, planning, self-monitoring, self-control, working memory, time management, and organization are all executive functioning skills that can be encouraged in early childhood environments. Research supports intentionally providing guidance and experiences that encourage the development of those executive functioning skills in young children. A variety of ways that each of the skills can be practiced and encouraged within daily routines in early childhood environments will be shared.

Early Childhood/Preschool Instruction Series webinars: Developing Children’s Number Sense
The Western Montana CSDP is hosting this series of early childhood/preschool instruction webinars with presenter Stephanie Lester. Each webinar can be taken independently or as part of the series. Topics range from phonological awareness to number sense. Visit the CSPD’s website for more information, you can register here to attend one or more of the series.
This session’s topic is Developing Children’s Number Sense. Number sense—or a child’s “fluidity and flexibility with numbers” (Gersten & Chard, 2001)—is a critical readiness skill for starting school. The idea of number sense seems like a simple concept, but when broken down, there is a clear developmental progression—or learning trajectory—that can be a valuable road map for teachers when used to plan instruction based on each child’s individual needs. This session will focus on developing better understanding of this learning trajectory, as well as the latest methods to develop skills in subitizing, counting, one-to-one correspondence, cardinality, and hierarchical inclusion. Intentional “in the moment” strategies to effectively respond to young children’s mathematical thinking will also be addressed.
