Educa - Creating Inspired Explorers

"How am I going to give my teachers time to write Learning Stories, with all of these staffing issues?!" If you are a leader in an early childhood program who is asking yourself this question, then today's LIVE Session is for you! Join the Conversation: bit.ly/3h5Ont3

Learning Stories may be the most authentic form of assessment in #ECE! They provide a two-way communication with families and enable all learning and growth to be captured.

Love the phrasing on this. Thanks for sharing, @braininsights!

@braininsights @HuffPostLife What a great question, @braininsights!

@HuffPostLife @EducaLtd I agree. As I say in presentations frequently, "We want children to learn to self evaluate instead of become dependent on the opinion of others." The suggestion I share is to ask the child, "Are you feeling proud of yourself?"

The words we use with our children are important. And sometimes, all it takes is the right question — or a simple tweak in how we express frustration — to really boost communication and connection. huffpost.com/entry/phrases-…

“You should be proud of yourself!” The hope behind this simple phrase is that you can help encourage internal motivation — and subtly reinforce the fact that other people’s opinions of them aren’t as important as their own. huffpost.com/entry/phrases-…

A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT. Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15
