I am interested in attending:

Training A: Encouraging Language Development in Early Childhood Settings

Training C: Fostering Peer Interaction in Early Childhood Settings

You must attend Training A priorto attending Training C.

Play and daily routines provide opportunities to create enriched, interactive language-learning environments that include all children. This training will discuss how to foster language development through daily interactions.

Learn how to:

• identify the children’s conversational styles and the roles teachers play

• let the child lead in individual and group interactions

• help children become better conversational partners

Children with poor language and social skills may have difficulty initiating and maintaining interactions with their peers, and may find themselves left out and socially isolated. This training will discuss how to provide a physical and social environment that encourages peer interaction.

Learn how to:

• make the best use of space in your classroom

• provide materials and activities that promote peer interaction

• support children’s interactions with peers
