Play is the work of children. It consists of those activities performed for self-amusement that have behavioral, social, and psychomotor rewards. Play is an important part of the childhood development. Through play children learn about shapes, colors, cause and effect, and themselves. Besides cognitive thinking, play helps the child learn social and psychomotor skills. It is a way of communicating joy, fear , sorrow, and anxiety.
Playing is crucial in enhancing social development in children. Unstructured active play with others – including parents, siblings and peers – is a significant opportunity to cultivate social skills. Playing also provides opportunities for children to learn social interaction. While playing together, children learn to cooperate, follow the rules, develop self-control, and generally get along with other people. Play is essential to development because it contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children and youth. Play also offers an ideal opportunity for parents to engage fully with their children.
This slide contains all the information about pre-primary schooling and what are good practices adopted throughout the world. It contains description about playway method, Waldorf and Montessori method. It also contain description about existing challenges

Evidence suggests that developing specific core capacities from childhood can support performance in school, work, and life.
These nine “core capacities” are cornerstones of life skills. We often overlook these capacities as innate basic skills, so they are underutilized in efforts to promote child well-being and development.
But by nurturing, expanding, and modelling these capacities, children can better understand and interact with the world around them, and realise their unique potential.

Need and Importance of Activity books for ECCE.pptxajay maini
Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is a vital phase of a child's early development, typically spanning from birth to around eight years old. It encompasses a range of activities and programs designed to provide young children with a nurturing and stimulating environment that promotes their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth. ECCE aims to lay a solid foundation for future learning and well-being by fostering essential skills, including language development, fine and gross motor skills, social interaction, and problem-solving abilities. Whether delivered through formal preschools, informal playgroups, or family-based care, ECCE plays a crucial role in shaping a child's future and ensuring their readiness for formal education and lifelong learning.
Activity books for ECCE play a vital role in a child's early development by fostering a wide range of skills, promoting a love for learning, and facilitating interaction with parents or caregivers. They serve as a valuable educational tool in the early years of a child's life.

Week 1
Hi my name is Gloria, I am sixty three years old, and I plan to graduate in October of 2016 with a Bachelor degree in Organization Manager. I have taken my entire course for my degree I am working on my elective course so I decided to take a minor in child hood development. I thought that it would be a good course since I have work with children all my life, raising ten children and only three from nature birth. I now work with Garland independent school district and come in contact with children every day. I community with people through knowledge, everyone come to me for advice, I listen to everyone problem and try to give the best advice possible and if I don’t have the answer we try to investigate and come up with the right one. I love helping people in any way that I could, planning on retiring from my job that I have been on for seventeen years with the school. After I retire if I have to go back to work I am leaning toward benign school counselor or an adviser working with children. That is if God allow me to do it.
Week 1 pt. 2
In the early childhood classroom, silence is not golden. Spoken words are opportunities for learning that should take place throughout the day - especially during conversations between children and between teachers and children.
Human language is a remarkable way to communicate. No other form of communication in the natural world transfers so much information in such a short period of time. It is even more remarkable that in three short years a child can hear, mimic, explore, practice, and finally, learn language.
Language learningthere is no genetic code that leads a child to speak English or Spanish or Japanese. Language is learned. We are born with the capacity to make 40 sounds and our genetics allows our brain to make associations between sounds and objects, actions, or ideas. The combination of these capabilities allows the creation of language. Sounds come to have meaning. The babbling sound "ma - ma - ma" of the infant becomes mama, and then mother. In the first years of life children listen, practice, and learn. The amusing sounds of a young toddler practicing language (in seemingly meaningless chatter) are really their modeling of the rhythm, tone, volume, and non-verbal expressions they see in us.
Language -with all of its magnificent complexity- is one of the greatest gifts we give our children. Yet, we so often treat our verbal communication with children in a casual way. It is a misconception that children learn language passively. Language acquisition is a product of active, repetitive, and complex learning. The child's brain is learning and changing more during language acquisition in the first six years of life than during any other cognitive ability he is working to acquire. How much easier this learning process can be for children when adults are active participants!
Adult’s help children learn language primarily by talking with them. It happen when a mother coos and ba.

46 THE INTENTIONAL TEACHER
ExCHANgE JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2009
The heated debate over child-initiated versus adult-
directed instruction may be cooling down, replaced by
a search for balance. In the landmark report Eager to
Learn, the National Research Council (2000)
emphasized the need for both approaches, and said
teachers must play an active and intentional role in
each type of learning:
“Children need opportunities to initiate activities and
follow their interests, but teachers are not passive
during these [child]-initiated and directed activities.
Similarly, children should be actively engaged and
responsive during teacher-initiated and -directed
activities. Good teachers help support the child’s
learning in both types of activities” (pp. 8-9).
While most of us claim to act with ‘intention’ in our
dealings with young children, it is worth pausing to
reflect on what this term means. In The Intentional
Teacher, the author of this article says, “intentional
teaching means teachers act with specific outcomes
or goals in mind for children’s development and
learning. Teachers must know when to use a given
strategy to accommodate the different ways that
individual children learn and the specific content they
are learning” (Epstein, 2007, p. 1).
How do we know which strategy to use? As a general
rule, in child-guided learning, teachers provide
materials but children make connections on their own
or through interactions w ...

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
