Event Tag
Using PACE to Promote Social Emotional Development is an experiential workshop that supports educators in making connections between various theatre/improvisation games and early childhood standard:
- Self-Concept
- Self-Control
- Cooperation
- Social Relationships
In Daniel Hughes’ book, Attachment-Focused Parenting: Effective Strategies to Care for Children, he uses the term PACE to illustrate the need for playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy when caring for children. Tapping into the world of theatre games, we will explore various games and their relationship to each element in PACE to promote healthy social emotional development in children.
Objectives
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Increase their tool kit of activities to include when designing lesson plans to support PLAYFULNESS
- Stretch ability to ACCEPT and create greater self-awareness when teaching
- Expand CURIOSITY and learn strategies to use with students
- Broaden social EMPATHY and learn techniques to support students in doing the same
- Participate in co-planning sessions to integrate immediately what is being taught.

Kennedy University with a focus on differentiated instruction and supporting a multiple intelligence approach to teaching and learning.

In addition to literacy, many of the games build cooperation skills and improve student engagement.
Methodology
This workshop will invite educators to explore, ask questions, and play. Just as every student is different, so is each classroom and the teacher leading it. We will identify ways to personalize and incorporate the games and activities so that they enhance and energize what you are already doing. The workshop is highly experiential. What this means is that we will not talk about the exercise or game, but play it and then debrief it in order to connect what the experience was like with how it felt, and how it would best serve your students.
Target Audience
This workshop is designed for people involved in instruction of children ages 4-10.
This workshop will be of interest to pre-service teachers, classroom teachers, resource teachers, librarians, administrators, curriculum consultants, special education teachers, and teaching coaches.
