š§ŖKey Learning Outcomes from Prerna!
- Social emotional learning is the bridge between cognitive development and language development and is therefore critical in the early years
- Teaching social emotional learning starts with co-regulation and developing trust between educators and children
- Choices are powerful tools to help give children agency and power to their voice. When educators give children choices it tells that child, we trust you and your voice matters.
- Educating instead of policing in the classroom! Shift the view of the educators role from classroom management to supporting brain development.
- Focus on connecting before correcting to strengthen relationships with the children in your care.
