SEDS is a framework developed by Kate Horst to help adults intentionally interact with children in ways that promote academic and socio-emotional development. The SEDS model focuses on demonstrating sensitivity, encouragement, education, development of skills through hands-on learning, and self-image support. Inspired by research on the importance of early experiences, SEDS has been implemented in early childhood programs in Minnesota and California and has been shown to positively impact children's school readiness.
Early learning framework
The document outlines an early learning framework with a vision of supporting children's well-being, learning, and development from ages 0-5. It discusses key principles like the important role of families, the value of play, and respecting children's cultural identities. The framework also describes areas of early learning, including well-being, exploration and creativity, language and literacy, and social responsibility.
Elf group
This document discusses an early learning framework (ELF) that provides early years professionals with a shared understanding of children's learning and development. It outlines 6 principles of the ELF, including Principle 3 on respect for diversity, equity, and inclusion. The document then provides examples of how to incorporate Principle 3 for toddlers and preschoolers, such as exposing children to diverse sounds, smells, textures, tastes, and visual images. It discusses the importance of Principle 3 for strong family relationships and using diversity as an asset to enrich early childhood environments.
PLAY AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT
Play is an important part of child development and education. Several factors influence children's play, including environmental factors like family socioeconomic status, biological factors like gender and health, interpersonal relationships, and early childhood experiences. Play allows children to develop skills in areas like creativity, problem-solving, and social skills. It prepares them for school by helping them learn concepts like shapes, colors, and numbers in a fun way. The idea of using play-based learning has grown and replaced more traditional teaching methods by making learning more engaging and relieving boredom for students.

Classrooms are not limited to the sections listed and children can choose to blend sections, like using costumes from dramatic play to influence their building with blocks.
5. Guided play gives the freedom of choice but still teachers toward a specific goal. With guided play, the teacher may ask the children to count the number of toys they have or ask them where a certain animal might live.
6. Academic based preschools are also called teacher directed. In an academic-based school, the teacher might give the students specific tasks for working towards a learning goal.

Pdhpe Rationale
PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) promotes both physical activity and the development of other skills like language, math, science, and more. Cross-curriculum activities allow teachers to spend more time on PDHPE outcomes and diversity. Research also shows that many Australian children are not reaching their potential in fundamental motor skills, and PDHPE provides opportunities to explore and develop these skills through fun games. PDHPE also focuses on developing positive values and attitudes in students to help them become good role models through topics like growth, relationships, and decision-making.

My interview with le anne horn
LeAnne Horn's philosophy of education focuses on supporting the whole child, including their motor, social/emotional, cognitive, language, vocational, self-help, behavioral, home life, and family support needs. She believes all children have equal rights to develop their talents and abilities. Some challenges facing education today include issues with funding, technology, single-parent homes, and attitudes toward education from various stakeholders. Horn hopes education moves toward more research-based approaches to improve attendance, lower dropout rates, and increase student achievement. She also believes stronger relationships between school and home would benefit students. Her life experiences in both general and special education have shaped her philosophy of setting high, reasonable expectations for each child and building meaningful relationships.
GETTING PARENTS INVOLVED IN SCHOOLS
Getting parents involved in their children's schools has significant benefits for children including improved grades, test scores, attendance, homework completion, behavior, and self-esteem. Effective parent involvement requires true partnerships between schools and families, especially around academics. Research shows that greater parent involvement leads to higher student achievement. Several organizations promote parent involvement through programs like home visits, workshops, and resources to build parents' skills and confidence in supporting their children's education.

Cognitivedevandplayproject
Play is essential for children's cognitive development and learning in first grade. Through play, children practice skills, develop problem-solving abilities, and improve focus. Studies show play that incorporates literacy can boost engagement with educational materials and literacy acts. Pretend play specifically helps develop skills like joint-planning, negotiation, and goal-setting. Important types of play for first graders include manipulating blocks to learn math, playing store to use and exchange money, and acting out stories to aid comprehension.

Parents as partners
1. Parental involvement in a child's education leads to higher grades, test scores, graduation rates, attendance, motivation, self-esteem, and lower rates of drug/alcohol use and violence.
2. There are three major factors that influence parental involvement: parents' beliefs about their role, their confidence in positively influencing their child's education, and their perception that the school wants them involved.
3. Understanding the cultural, family, education, language, work, and personal backgrounds of parents is important for encouraging involvement.

Common Barriers to Effective Partnerships with Parents
The document discusses the importance of parental engagement in education. It states that when schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more. It also lists 10 common barriers to parental engagement, such as unpleasant memories of school, language barriers, and not understanding school jargon. Finally, it provides strategies for creating family-friendly schools and welcoming new families, such as establishing a stakeholder group to guide family involvement, creating a welcoming environment, and providing orientation sessions and mentors for new families.
Lisa power point
Parents can support their child's education at home by becoming involved in the school's learning program and communicating regularly with teachers. When parents share information about their child with the school, it allows them to become partners in their child's education. Parental involvement enhances academic performance and benefits both children and parents. Parents gain a better understanding of the curriculum and can encourage their child's self-esteem, motivation, and development by establishing a daily routine that includes encouraging reading, writing, and discussions at home. However, barriers like work demands, negative experiences, cultural differences, and after-school activities can make it difficult for some parents to be involved.

The preschoolers in Ms. Mimi’s classroom are very busy throughout the day, work-
ing on emerging pretend-play skills, turn taking, conflict management, phonologi-
cal awareness, math knowledge, and other academic, behavioral, and social skills.
Ms. Mimi knows that young children’s readiness for school comes with increased
expectations for academic skills, but she worries that her preschoolers are not get-
ting enough experience with social skill building. When her supervisor comes for a
visit, Ms. Mimi shares her concern that she may not be meeting her preschoolers’
social needs. She says, “Some days I find myself worrying so much about teach-
ing literacy, numeracy, and all the other academic skills that I wonder if the children
have enough opportunities to learn how to get along with each other.”

• attending and listening to

Here are two possible ways Teacher Kris could address this situation using guidance rather than discipline:
1. Remain calm and help the children calm down. Have a brief conversation with each child to understand their perspective, using open-ended questions. Then facilitate a conversation between the children so they can work it out, with Kris mediating to ensure both voices are heard. The goal is resolving the conflict, not assigning blame.
2. Separate the children briefly if needed for safety, but don't leave them alone. Once calm, have a joint problem-solving discussion at the table to negotiate a fair sharing agreement for the playdough moving forward, such as taking turns or dividing it evenly.

What Makes Me? Core capacities for living and learning. Presentation at WISE ...UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti
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.

This document discusses teaching English to young learners in schools. It addresses the function of children's schools, changing social contexts from preschool to secondary levels, and key aspects of early childhood education. The main points are:
1) Schools have swung between focusing on basic skills versus comprehensive education addressing both cognitive and social development. Currently there is a push for a more balanced approach.
2) As children progress from preschool to secondary levels, their social environment expands from the classroom to the whole school.
3) Developmentally appropriate practices focus on the needs, interests, and learning styles of children, emphasizing the learning process over content. In contrast, inappropriate practices ignore hands-on learning in favor of abstract

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

- 2. SEEDS is a map to help adults intentionally demonstrate behaviors throughout their daily interactions with children that enrich academic growth and promote social/emotional well-being. SEEDS interactions feature Sensitivity – Look, listen, and ask questions to become aware of each child'needs, thoughts, abilities and feelings Encouragement – Use intentional affirmations and positive non-verbal communication to create a shared positive learning environment Education – Embed the “Big 5” literacy skills in daily routines (vocabulary, conversation, phonological awareness, book and print rules, and letter knowledge) Development of Skills Through Doing – Help children explore their world through hands-on learning Self-Image Support– Balance the SEEDS quality interactions to support a child’s feeling of being respected and capable
- 3. Inspired by Betty Hart and Todd Risley’s book Meaningful Differences in the Everyday Experience of Young American Children (1995), Kate Horst developed a framework for ensuring children would have the opportunity and experiences necessary to be school ready. Now a nationally recognized curriculum, SEEDS was piloted from 2003 to 2005 for the Minnesota Early Literacy Training Project. In its evaluation of the SEEDS model, the University of Minnesota’s Center for Early Education and Development (CEED) found that SEEDS made a difference for children, teachers, and coaches. SEEDS Success Since 2005 » SEEDS has become a statewide training and coaching program for 6 of Minnesota’s “Early Reading First” programs » The SEEDS professional development model has been a key factor in the Minnesota Reading Corps (MRC) preschool Response to Intervention (RTI) success » SEEDS has partnered with the Minnesota Child Care Resource and Referral Network to provided both online and in-person training » SEEDS programming has helped the Santa Cruz County (Calif.) First Steps program and Santa Clara County First Five program meet the needs of Second Language Learners
- 4. Educational Philosophy SEEDS founder and president Kate Horst is passionate about closing the “opportunity gap” for all children and has dedicated her professional life to the idea that school readiness is more than just memorizing letters and learning their sounds. It’s about the relationships that develop between curious children and caring adults. When those relationships are nurtured and supported during the earliest years of a child’s life, the seeds of learning are sown and school readiness ensured Kate's Background:As a first grade teacher and early childhood family education teacher for children (from birth to 5) and their parents, Kate has spent countless hours observing adult/child interactions. She also directed an Adolescent Parent High School Program where she realized that young parents who understood the 5 basic concepts of Sensitivity, Encouragement,Education, Development through Doing, and the power of positive Self Image could be successful in their relationships with their children
