CLASS Overview
In early childhood settings, each moment that teachers and children interact with one another is an opportunity to develop positive relationships that build on learning. In this workshop, we will explore the importance of using developmentally appropriate strategies during classroom activities that take into consideration children’s differing needs, interests, styles, and abilities.

Quality of Feedback: Make it Count
The toddler and preschool years are a critical time for development in children. They turn to their teachers for praise, recognition, clarification, as so much more. As educators, we strive to encourage and affirm our students each and every day. However, how many times do we catch ourselves simply walking around the classroom and stating, “Good job!” or “Nice work”? This training is designed to give participants the tools and knowledge to make more meaningful, individualized, and purposeful feedback when interacting with our students.
