–
June 4, 2024Face to Face training: Double-check the LOCATION of the session before registering!
Social emotional development is closely related with cognitive development. In a model learning environment, students are engaged, stimulated, and engrossed in learning. Taking turns, working together, cooperating with others, and conflict resolution are some of the areas that will be covered during the training. We will dive into emotional awareness to help children recognize and understand their own feelings and actions, as well as those of others. We will also learn how to help children become aware of how our feelings and actions affect ourselves and others. Finally, we will discuss the importance of self-regulation and learn how to support children in being able to express their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in socially appropriate ways. Teachers will reflect on their own learning environment, teaching styles, strengths, and areas for growth. So, come ready to collaborate, reflect, and plan! This is going to be a great time of learning together!
This training is presented through a partnership between SPARK Learning Lab and Lakeshore®. A meal will be served, and all attendees will receive a materials kit to use with the children in your program!
