Join Bank Street online for our annual Kindergarten Conference

Teaching Kindergarten Conference 2025

Where Did the Garden Go? The Power of Language
March 7 and 8, 2025
Friday, 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM ET
Saturday, 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM ET
Held On Site at Bank Street College and Online

Everything in school is about language. Explore how to create an engaging curriculum and classroom environment that encourages all children to formulate and express their ideas, feelings, and opinions through words, books, the arts, play, STEM, and more. Learn how language strengthens and supports your kindergartener’s academic and critical thinking skills as well as their social/emotional development in monolingual and dual language settings. Equally important, this conference will encourage you to find, or perhaps, rediscover, your voice as an educator.

I couldn’t say more nice things about the staff I have come across… This is a game changer for me if it continues; I will be taking continuing education classes in this way [online] for sure.

Ginny was awesome. She really took into consideration our needs as learners and she made the class interesting and clear. I learned new things from her about students with disabilities, which is not an easy thing to say when you’ve already been a special ed. teacher for 8 years.

The idea of taking mindful moments when doing routine tasks seems very manageable and applicable, even with teaching remotely

I feel like I got so much about food justice from this class, in addition to information about plants and planting. I also got some terrific resources for working with kids and ideas for good activities.

This workshop helped me learn about writing for children and the different elements and composition that go together to create a piece of writing. Got me encouraged and excited to find that VOICE.
