Dear Early Childhood Partners,
We are excited to announce an upcoming professional learning opportunity that will support high quality adult-child interactions in classrooms.
Description
Quality teacher-child interactions lay the foundation for creating supportive learning environments for all children. Being respectful, engaging, and intentional are characteristics of teachers who foster a nurturing early learning setting that allows children to learn and grow. Children flourish when educators are aware and responsive to their unique needs.
You are invited to participate in an overview of how highly effective interactions are defined by the CLASS tool. Please choose the age group you work with the most.
