The document discusses how Montessori's principles of creating conditions to support children's "concentration" can inform modern approaches to children's spiritual development and wellbeing in education.
This document summarizes John Dewey's pedagogic creed on education from 1897. It discusses that education is a social process where the individual participates in social consciousness. The school should represent present life and simplify social life for the child. The subject matter of education should differentiate from the child's initial social experiences. Education is the reconstruction of experience and the process and goal are one in the same. The method of education should follow the natural order of the child's development from active to passive learning.

Reality and misconceptions about helping kids improve their social skills by ...Ryan Wexelblatt, LCSW
1) The document discusses the misconception that children with social learning needs can improve their social skills simply by interacting with neurotypical peers. It argues that these children first need to develop foundational social learning skills like perspective taking and understanding social situations as a whole.
2) Developing social skills is a complex process that requires direct instruction, unlike academics where children can learn from peers. Placing children in unstructured social environments without support is setting them up for failure.
3) Children need to learn social cognition - the ability to think about social contexts and apply relevant social skills. This requires explicitly teaching skills like perspective taking and understanding social situations holistically. Simply interacting with peers is not enough for children

Socioemotional and friendship development in late childhood Arantxa Dominguez
During mid-late childhood, children experience significant physical, emotional, and social development. Peer friendships become increasingly important, providing benefits like improved social skills and self-esteem. However, dysfunctional friendships can lead to issues like depression and isolation. Parents and schools should provide tools to help children develop healthy friendships and self-awareness of their emotions. This includes teaching emotional intelligence, conflict resolution skills, and using methods from Positive Discipline like emotion charts. Fostering social and emotional learning helps children establish strong relationships and psychological well-being.
This document discusses using stories as a tool for moral education in kindergartens in Indonesia. It finds that while moral education is part of the kindergarten curriculum, few teachers currently use stories for this purpose.

Overall, the document outlines the key aspects of social emotional learning and development and strategies to support children's SEL.
The document discusses child-centered education. It explains that child-centered education places the child's needs, interests, and learning styles at the center. The teacher acts as a facilitator rather than instructor. Key theorists like Dewey, Piaget, and Vygotsky influenced the move away from traditional teacher-centered models to child-centered learning. Child-centered education aims for the holistic development of the child and emphasizes learning through play, experience, choice, and collaboration rather than rote instruction.
Children learning english as a foreign language - Current IssuesRe Martins
The document discusses several key issues in teaching English to children as a foreign language. It covers (1) focusing on social constructivism and seeing the learner as an active meaning-maker, (2) the importance of values education and addressing moral development, and (3) explicitly teaching metacognitive, cognitive and social processes to help children become better learners. It also discusses teaching listening, speaking, reading, writing with a focus on meaning, as well as teaching grammar and vocabulary in context. The importance of feedback, motivation, and connecting home and school is emphasized.
The document discusses the sociocultural perspective on cognitive development. It explains that according to this view, how we learn and think is primarily shaped by our social and cultural environment. Culture influences cognitive development through child-rearing practices and what types of problems children are exposed to in their daily lives. Vygotsky argued that higher mental functions originate through social interactions and are then internalized. Children's intellectual development occurs within their zone of proximal development through guided participation and scaffolding provided by more skilled members of their culture. Different cultures will socialize cognition in different ways depending on their beliefs and tasks required to function within that culture.
developmental social individual factors of learner centered principleJocel Vallejo
This research paper examines developmental, social, and individual factors that influence learner-centered psychological principles. It discusses several theories of learner development, including those proposed by Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, and Kohlberg. These theories explore how cognitive, social, and emotional development affect learning. The paper also analyzes how individual differences like cultural background and learning styles require teachers to understand diversity and plan lessons accordingly. Overall, the research emphasizes that understanding learner development helps teachers facilitate effective learning through appropriate strategies and activities.
Ms. Leeza Holguin is applying for a position in education and shares her beliefs about early childhood education. She believes that early childhood education lays the foundation for lifelong success and that a child's early experiences directly impact the adult they become. Her goal is to promote social justice and equality through education. She is looking for a school that has a holistic child-centered philosophy and promotes social responsibility, rather than solely focusing on academic scores. Such an approach would best equip children to handle the complex world.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. Inquiry Topic: How teachers support children’s social and emotional development? A quick glimpse through Professional Literature
2. Table of Contents: The Emotional Development of Young Children: Building an Emotion-Centered Curriculumby Marilou Hyson. Caring Classrooms/ Intelligent Schools: The Social Emotional Education of Young Children by Jonathan Cohen. Promoting children’s healthy social and emotional development: Strengthening families through early care and education by Center for the Study of Social Policy. Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool Education by Judi Boyd, W. Steven Barnett, Elena Bodrova, Deborah J. Leong, and Deanna Gomby.
3. The Emotional Development of Young Children: Building an Emotion-Centered Curriculumby Marilou Hyson. This book help educators design emotion centered curriculum with present knowledge of child development and best early childhood practices. I think that it’s great how Hyson integrates current knowledge with best early childhood practices. It makes the programs and centers who adopts her techniques and strategies a high quality program. Reading this book really expanded my knowledge of how teachers support children social and emotionally.
4. The Emotional Development of Young Children: Building an Emotion-Centered Curriculumby Marilou Hyson. Hyson, 2004 describes in details some of the components of the emotion-focused tradition in early childhood education: Emotional bonds between teacher and child, activities to meet children’s emotional needs, encouraging open expression of feelings, developing desirable emotional states and dispositions, and awareness of children’s emotional responses.
5. The Emotional Development of Young Children: Building an Emotion-Centered Curriculumby Marilou Hyson. I think it’s wonderful how she lays out all the components of an emotion centered program and describes it. It makes it easy to read and apply to the classrooms. I also liked how she brings in real life examples from teachers that adopted this model of approach. I agree with her that an emotion focused center should incorporate bonds between teacher and child, have activities that children are interested in and meet’s their emotional needs, encourage open expression of feelings, and develop emotion states and awareness of children’s emotional responses. Educators are often working with children and all the components listed are very important to helping children with their social and emotional development.
6. The Emotional Development of Young Children: Building an Emotion-Centered Curriculumby Marilou Hyson. Chapter 4 illustrated how to select emotion-related targets for modeling, when to find opportunities for emotion modeling, and how to use effective emotion models. In addition, it also addresses the complexities and difficulties in emotion modeling. Children learn from observing other people, getting ideas of how new kinds of behavior are performed, and using these ideas to guide their actions (Bandura, 1977). Hyson pointed out that “competent, thoughtful professionals consciously decide what emotions and emotion-related behavior to model. They identify opportunities for emotion modeling in the daily program, and they take steps to increase the effectiveness of modeling on children’s development and behavior” (p. 68).
7. The Emotional Development of Young Children: Building an Emotion-Centered Curriculumby Marilou Hyson. This is exactly what I am inquiring about for my research. I agree with Hyson that “competent, thoughtful professionals” can find opportunities for emotional modeling in their programs. I feel that teachers have many opportunities to support children’s social and emotional development in the classroom if they are attuned to what each child needs. However, sometimes it can be difficult to find the time with limited staffing, resources, and if the educator is new to the program. I believe that it takes time and a lot of experience to become a competent and thoughtful professional.
8. Caring Classrooms/ Intelligent Schools: The Social Emotional Education of Young Children by Jonathan Cohen. This books talks about how social emotional learning is critical for education because children are social beings and live in social environments. It is through these environments where children absorb their information and develop. One of the core concepts is “the creation of safe, caring, and responsive environments in which learning can take place” (p. 14). I agree with Cohen that creating a safe and responsive environment is important in helping children with their social and emotional development. I believe that relationships provide the context for development. As Nodding, 1992 & Pianta 1999 mentioned as cited by Cohen, 2005 in his book, “that feeling of well-bring, instilled in students by caring educators, is what promotes learning and development” (p.14).
9. Caring Classrooms/ Intelligent Schools: The Social Emotional Education of Young Children by Jonathan Cohen “Social and emotional literacy refers to our ability to decode others and ourselves and to use this information to solve real social-emotional problems and to be a creative learner in any number of helpful ways “(Cohen, 2005, p 195). Social and emotional education refers to the process and methods we use to promote social emotional competencies. P.4 Social and emotional competence measures the ability to understand process, manage, and express the social and emotional aspects of our lives. P.4 Social emotional learning explicitly focuses on enhancing awareness of self and others as a valuable educational endeavor in and of itself and also the social and emotional dimensions of life. It provides children with basic understanding of the concept of social emotional competences, as well as with the specific skills needed to attain them. P. 4
10. Caring Classrooms/ Intelligent Schools: The Social Emotional Education of Young Children by Jonathan This book introduced new terms and categories related to social and emotional development which I found to be very helpful and interesting. Cohen introduced the term social and emotional literacy which is a new vocabulary for me that illustrates the importance fostering children’s social and emotional development. These terms and definition helped me reconstruct and organize my understanding of social and emotional development. Before reading this article, I thought that social and emotional development encompasses everything about social and emotional development. But the author nicely breaks down the different components and parts that social and emotional development involves. Now I understand that social and emotional competence is determined by children’s social and emotional literacy which is achieved though social emotional learning in and social and emotional education.

As Nodding, 1992 & Pianta 1999 mentioned as cited by Cohen, 2005 in his book, “that feeling of well-bring, instilled in students by caring educators, is what promotes learning and development” (p.14). This directly connected with my inquiry question on how teachers are supporting children’s social and emotional development in a classroom. Creating a safe, caring and responsive environment is one technique that can be used in the classrooms to support emotional and social development as mentioned by Cohen, 2005.
13. Caring Classrooms/ Intelligent Schools: The Social Emotional Education of Young Children by Jonathan Cohen One quote that I really like from his book is, “It is abundantly clear to those who work with young children that how children feel about themselves and others colors and shapes their ability to learn. Their social emotional capacities powerfully affect, and even determine, their ability to listen and communicate; to concentrate; to recognize, understand, and solve problems; to cooperate; to modulate their emotional states; to become self-motivating; and to resolve conflicts adaptively – in short, the ability to become a member of the group.” I really liked this quote because it describes how children benefit from being socially and emotionally competent. This quote expanded my knowledge of the importance of social and emotional development and the positive effects it has on a child’s life especially at school. Therefore, I want to inquiry more on how to support children’s social and emotional development.
14. Promoting children’s healthy social and emotional development: Strengthening families through early care and education by Center for the Study of Social Policy. When children are socially and emotionally supported they can express themselves and advocate for their feelings and needs which helps to improve parent’s responses to the needs of the child. I agree that when children are socially and emotionally competent, they do better in school, have better social relations, and abuse is reduced. Many times children are abused because parents do not know what the child need and become frustrated with them leading to abuse and neglect. When children’s social and emotional development is nurtured they become better communicators and this enhances the relationship with their parents or caregivers. Reading this article added an additional layer of benefit to support children socially and emotionally. www.strengtheningfamiliesillinois.org/.../Mono_02_Promoting_Children_Healthy_Socialemotional_REV4.pdf

16. Promoting children’s healthy social and emotional development: Strengthening families through early care and education by Center for the Study of Social Policy. This article relates to my inquiry project because child abuse and neglect has a significant effect on a child’s social and emotional development. It’s very inspiring to see how an early education program can build protective factors for a reduction of child abuse and neglect. Thus, early childcare providers play a significant role in helping children at home and at school. This article gives great examples of different techniques and strategies teachers are using to help support children’s social and emotional development.
17. Promoting children’s healthy social and emotional development: Strengthening families through early care and education by Center for the Study of Social Policy. Family and Children Education Services (FACES) focuses on developing young children’s communication skills and sense of personal responsibility for their own welfare and the welfare of the community. They hold morning meeting for children and staff that promote social and emotional growth. Structure of meetings: greeting, sharing, group activity, and conclusion with news and announcements. Gives children opportunities to practice greeting each other, listening and responding, solving problems as a group and learning respect and responsibility. Calvary Bilingual Multicultural Learning center places emphasis on arts, technology, bilingualism, and multiculturalism as tools for children’s learning and development. Art activities provide opportunities to support children’s social and emotional development by encouraging creativity and self-expression – and can help staff identify when children may be experiencing difficulty.
18. Promoting children’s healthy social and emotional development: Strengthening families through early care and education by Center for the Study of Social Policy. Palm Beach Country Head Start and Early Head Start takes formal, curriculum-based approach. Teachers are trained in gentle teaching methods. Uses a comprehensive, anti-bias, multi-cultural curriculum called Creative Beginnings that allows children to develop at their own rate and encourages learning through creative play. Activities promote children’s self-esteem and foster interaction between children. Lenox Hill Early Childhood Center uses a therapeutic approach to ensuring children’s social and emotional health. The teachers receiving training and support in developing an “emotionally responsive class-room” that entails creating outlets for children’s emotional expression through arts and dramatic play as well as paying special attention to transitions in children’s lives. Teachers are trained to send clear emotional messages and to be emotionally available to children.
19. Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool Educationby Judi Boyd, W. Steven Barnett, Elena Bodrova, Deborah J. Leong, and Deanna Gomby This policy brief describes the importance of social and emotional development for children in their earliest years and as they grow older and describe the characteristics of those preschool education programs that best support these aspects of development. This article is helpful to my research question because I’m looking at what techniques and strategies teachers/programs are using to support children’s social and emotional development. http://nieer.org/resources/policyreports/report7.pdf
20. Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool Educationby Judi Boyd, W. Steven Barnett, Elena Bodrova, Deborah J. Leong, and Deanna Gomby While reading this article, I learned that children need a combination of intellectual skills, motivational qualities, and socio-emotional skills to succeed in school. However, preschool do not fully support children’s social and emotional development. Moreover, kindergarten teachers report that many of their students are not socially or emotionally prepared for the challenges of the new environment. They enter kindergarten unable to learn because they cannot pay attention, remember information on purpose, or function socially in a school environments. The result is growing numbers of children who are hard to manage in the classroom.
21. Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool Educationby Judi Boyd, W. Steven Barnett, Elena Bodrova, Deborah J. Leong, and Deanna Gomby Characteristics of a High Quality Preschool: • Small group sizes • A partnership with parents • A sound curriculum that addresses the needs of the whole child • High adult-child ratios • Competitive staff compensation and benefits to attract and retain good staff • Well-prepared teachers and ongoing professional development organized in ways that allow children to form close, sustained relationships with teachers and encourage positive interactions with peers.

23. Students are also encouraged to recall or reflect upon different experiences they have had during the day, taking time to consider ideas and concepts they have discovered and discuss what they might do to build on or extend what they have learned.

25. Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool Educationby Judi Boyd, W. Steven Barnett, Elena Bodrova, Deborah J. Leong, and Deanna Gomby Social and Emotional skills begin to develop with the relationships children form with the people around them, including parents, caregivers, and peers. I agree that social and emotional skills develop with the relationships they form with people around them early in life. These people play an important role supporting a child’s emotional development. When a child is socially and emotionally intelligent they are able to identify and understand one’s own feelings, read and understand the emotional states of others, manage strong emotions, express themselves in a constructive manner, self regulate, develop empathy for others, and can establish and sustain relationships (Boyd, Barnett, Bodrova, Leong and Gomby, 2005). These are all important aspects in social and emotional development.
26. Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Development Through Preschool Educationby Judi Boyd, W. Steven Barnett, Elena Bodrova, Deborah J. Leong, and Deanna Gomby This article addressed briefly about how didactic methods of instruction may fail to enhance social and emotional skills. This type of instruction does not always provide children with opportunities to develop problem-solving abilities and may negatively affect their development of social and emotional skills, which can have long-term consequences for learning. I agree that sometimes didactic methods may limit social and emotional skills. Social and emotional skills are best enhanced when children are in a social group setting and are able to experience first-hand the challenges of opposing views, turn taking, negotiations, and conflicts etc. As Vygotsky mentioned knowledge is socially constructed. Thus, it is important for children to be in a social setting to develop social skills. However, I feel that sometimes didactic methods can be beneficial for a child who needs that extra support.
