Cancelled - Spring Free Lecture with Tom Hobson | Speaking With Children So They Can Think
2020-04-06 20:00 - 22:00 | Faith Lutheran Church, Social Hall, 8208 18th Ave NE, Seattle, WA, 98115, United States
This event is cancelled due to the local spread of COVID-19

The Parent Advisory Council will host a free winter lecture featuring Tom “Teacher Tom,” a preschool teacher, writer, speaker, artist, and author, about Speaking With Children So They Can Think.
In a very real sense, the language we use creates reality. Tom speaks on how the specific words we use,
and how and when we use them, shapes reality for our students for both good and bad. Participants will have
the opportunity to learn about the importance of: being clear and precise with language; honoring children
without commanding or bossing them; using words to create a world of facts and intrinsic motivation; creating
space in which children must do their own thinking and make their own decisions; and supporting children as
they learn from the natural consequences of their behaviors.
Tom is best known, however, for his namesake blog “Teacher Tom’s Blog,” where he has posted daily for nearly a decade, chronicling the life and times of his little preschool in the rain soaked Pacific Northwest corner of the US. For nearly two decades Teacher Tom was the sole employee of the Woodland Park Cooperative School. Tom travels around the world (Greece, Iceland, Australia, China, Vietnam, New Zealand, Canada, UK, and across the US) sharing his views on early childhood education, play, and pedagogy. He recently authored his first book, aptly named “Teacher Tom’s First Book”. His second book will be released in March.
Come hungry with cash! Yummy savory and sweet goods will be available for purchase with proceeds supporting scholarships for the North Seattle College Cooperative Preschools!

Special Lecture with Tom "Teacher Tom" Hobson | The Importance of Risky Play
2020-02-10 19:00 - 20:00 | University-Ravenna Cooperative Preschool, 5751 33rd Ave NE, Seattle, WA, 98105, United States
Join the University-Ravenna Cooperative Preschool for a special lecture by Tom “Teacher Tom” Hobson, renowned preschool educator and author, on The Importance of Risky Play.

Children need to engage in risky play. Indeed, it’s impossible to talk about play without also talking about risk, and it is impossible to talk about being a parent without considering our obligation to keep children safe. Tom discusses how we can walk the fine line required to balance these often competing imperatives.

$5 suggested donation supports the North Seattle College Parent Advisory Council (PAC) Scholarship Fund.

We think co-op schools are the way to go! They are run by parents, they are more affordable, they build community and at Woodland Park Cooperative School, we bring together a diverse array of families who all value free play, getting our hands covered in paint, playing outside everyday, eating fresh veggies off the vine and using real tools. We encourage kids to explore and express themselves freely. Problem solving, independence and creative thinking are all apart of a day’s “work” here. Teachers and parents will be at the open house to answer questions about our Preschool’s 2’s, 3’s and 4’s classes and Kindergarten class. We are located in Seattle in the heart of Fremont and are excited for the 2020-2021 school year! Visit us at our All School Open House to see if our school is a good fit for your family. Children are welcome! No need to RSVP.
