Title: We are a Team: A Workshop to Promote Culturally Responsive Emotional Development in Children 0-6
Date: September 27th, 2024
Time: 11am CST/ 12pm EST
Description: In recent years there has been an increase in the number of young children entering early childhood education programs with little social and emotional skills. This at times can cause the educators in the classrooms to feel compassion-fatigue and stressed, which in turn can have an adverse effect on the child's development & learning. This presentation will highlight research-based, culturally responsive strategies that caregivers and early childhood teachers can use to address young children's social and emotional development, helping foster a more reflective approach to supporting a child in the classroom.
Learning goals and objectives for your session:
Participants will be able to understand emotional development.
Recognize the importance of cultural responsiveness in classrooms.
Identify emotional development stages in early childhood.
Learn ways to incorporate culture in emotional development.
Receive culturally responsive check-in tools to use in classroom.
