Our Observational Prep Training will ensure clarity in understanding the Domains and Dimensions of how the teacher and  the child interact.

The Dimensions are organized into three Domains: Emotional Support, Classroom Management, and Supporting Instruction

  • Emotional Support assesses the degree to which teachers establish and promote a positive climate in their classroom through their everyday interactions.
  • Classroom Management assesses classroom routines and procedures related to the organization and management of children’s behavior, time and attention in the classroom.
  • Instructional Support assesses the ways in which teachers implement the curriculum to effectively promote cognitive and language development.

We will examine strategies that teachers use to promote children’s higher order thinking skills and language development.

We’re also going to focus on how teachers use feedback to help children learn.

Participants will be introduced to various educational methods of engaging children in purposeful and meaningful conversations that foster concept development and vocabulary enrichment.

We will showcase different language modeling  that provoke back and forth exchanges with children techniques.

Testimonials

Our Program kicked off our parenting curriculum with a parent rally. The kids were entertained with a concert by Shawn, while Sheryl talked to our parents about the curriculum. Children and parents alike were captivated! Many parents came to Sheryl afterwards to ask her more questions or ask for her advice. We have received a very positive response to the curriculum from parents and look forward to seeing the positive child outcomes as a result of implementing it.
