Bang! Squish! Leap! Supporting the A in STEAM with Infants and Toddlers
Just like science, technology, engineering, and math, engaging with the arts involves creativity, problem-solving, and structured exploration. Hear from Amelia Bachleda, Ph.D., Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences at the University of Washington, about the skills children build as they bounce to music or scribble on a page. Learn how to integrate the arts into activities that support school readiness across the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF) domains. Discover strategies for scaffolding and supporting children's learning and development through the arts. Review four key environmental elements that support learning through the arts.
Building Social and Emotional Learning Every Day
Building on the idea that social–emotional learning should be thought of as a “Teaching All Day, Every Day” goal, this introductory 1-hour, microlearning course will introduce the Why, What, and How of social–emotional development and learning and the Pyramid Model for Promoting Social and Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children. The course will provide an overview of social–emotional development, including the birth-to-5 social–emotional milestones, and review social–emotional competencies using the Early Learning Outcomes Framework (particularly Social and Emotional Development and Approaches to Learning: Emotional and Behavior Self-Regulation), and it will also provide a basic overview of the Pyramid Model.
