Early Childhood Recommended Early Childhood Recommended Practice Module 1: Interaction

This module will help you learn to support children’s learning and development through quality adult-child and child-child interactions.  Lesson 1 provides a summary of the research on interaction by Dr. Jeanette McCollum.  In lessons 2 and 3, nonverbal and verbal cues, behaviors and interests of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers will be described. You will learn how observing children's behavior is critical in helping you interpret and provide responsive interaction with children. You will also practice using observation of a child's behavior to identify and interpret the child's interests, abilities, and emotions by watching and thinking about several video illustrations. Lesson 4 shares “Voices from the Field”, where practitioners and family leaders share their expertise and perspectives on interaction.
