About TAIP Fall Conference 2023

After a few years of virtual hellos and lots of Zoom time, we're thrilled to be hosting our first in-person Fall Conference in quite some time. So, dust off those name tags and get ready for real-life, face-to-face interactions – we've missed seeing everyone and can't wait to reconnect!

The TAIP Fall Conference 2023 is a one-day event to provide early childhood educators with the knowledge and skills they need to create a positive and nurturing learning environment for children. This year will feature a variety of workshops on topics such as social-emotional learning, dual language development, stress relief for teachers, and more! There will also be a first-aid workshop for those who need to get or renew their certification.

Currently, he is researching early childhood education, child psychology and development, and outdoor education to improve the lives of children in Japan. He co-founded Kamui Kids in 2021, which provides outdoor programming for children through forest kindergartens, workshops, and summer youth camps. His most recent efforts are centered on providing alternative learning opportunities for the growing number of children who refuse to attend schools.

Session 4

4A: Social Emotional Learning Through Picturebooks for Young Learners

Presenter: Allison Hasegawa

The workshop delves into the use of picturebooks as a medium to facilitate Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) for young learners. The presentation covers the background of the joint research project, the rationale behind using picturebooks and an interactive approach, an introduction to SEL, the steps of reflective practice, details of their sessions, and the results.

About Allison Hasegawa
As a qualified primary school teacher, a teacher of young learners for over 20 years and then a teacher-trainer at Miyagi University of Education for 10 years, my research has almost solely been focused on young learners.

Picturebook read-alouds can be an engaging activity that develops a wide range of literacies including emotional, or cultural literacy. I am currently undertaking classroom-based research with a focus on facilitating social-emotional learning and intercultural learning through picturebooks in various EFL settings.

My research looks at learners' responses to read-alouds, both written and artistic, with the aim of educating holistically through this approach.

4B: Stress Relieving Movement Workshop for Teachers

Presenter: Karen Carmeli

In this workshop we will focus on a specific stressful situation. We will move in different ways to get to know the automatic response holistically and explore how the physical sensation in the body can be alleviated. Through breathing, writing and movement exercises you will experience. how stress manifests in the body and how to release it. You will learn to identify and control the automatic pattern that causes you pain and discomfort. You will discover your own special power that exists within you and how to express it fully. I recommend to bring: Comfortable clothes, writing tools, a bottle of water.

About Karen Carmeli
Holistic therapist
Born Tel Aviv, Israel.
Trained in Israel, Europe and Japan.
Working at Tokyo Paramedi since 2010.

At the clinic, I teach my patients from all over the world how to release tension, let go of chronic pain, emotional fatigue, and gain more energy. This empowers them to live their lives with much more freedom of movement and expression.

I firmly believe that we are all born with natural strength and the ability to learn and develop in a beneficial way. Learning is a holistic experience, and when you learn through the body, the experience becomes more powerful and profound. Once we understand ourselves and feel comfortable in our own bodies, it becomes easy to understand and communicate with others as well.

My background is diverse, encompassing music, theater, and teaching. These days, I'm delving into studying parental guidance for ages for 0-matriculation. I also develop workshops tailored for parents, teachers, and stage professionals.
On a personal note, I am married and the proud mother of a 10-year-old boy.
