Engaging young children and their families: Best practices for remote and hybrid learning
Presenters: Dominique McCain, Kristin Valdes and Cecelia Doyle
Whether online or in-person, young children’s learning is grounded in engaging interactions and relationships. What should that look like in the era of remote, hybrid, and physically distanced teaching? In this webinar, panelists will share strategies for engaging young children (Pre-K to grade 3) and their families during these challenging times to lay the foundation for long-term success.
Participants will:
- Reflect on the importance of interactions and relationships for young children’s learning;
- Discover strategies for building positive relationships and productive interactions during distance and hybrid learning;
- Learn about the CLASS framework for understanding and measuring high-quality interactions;
- Explore why family engagement is more important than ever; and
- Gain strategies for building relationships with families and engaging them to support children’s learning.
