Setbacks and Solutions: Helping early educators navigate language and social-emotional delays
On Demand
Duration: 56 minutes
Language and social-emotional delays among infants, toddlers, and preschoolers are immensely important repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. With approximately half of U.S. children aged 0-5 attending child care, it’s more important than ever to equip early childhood educators to address children’s unique needs and help get their language and social-emotional learning (SEL) on track. There’s strong new evidence to suggest that LENA Grow, a language-focused professional development program for early educators, is effective at doing just that.
Attendees will learn from a panel of expert researchers and advocates:
- How language and social-emotional delays are manifesting in young children.
- What tools are being used to track these delays — e.g., Teaching Strategies GOLD®.
- What the data analysis says about LENA Grow’s effectiveness around overcoming language and social-emotional delays.
- What kind of support early educators truly need to succeed in the face of unprecedented challenges.
