This presentation will engage participants in learning about development stages from infancy to age 18. Issues we will consider: how chronological age expectations can interfere with responding effectively to the developmental needs of the child; how failing to meet the developmental needs of the child can lead to behavioral challenges in the classroom; using the Pyramid Model can reduce reliance on referrals to special services.
Presented by:
Karen Lefkovitz is a specialist in cross-disciplinary planning and using play to inspire learning. Trained as an artist as well as an educator, with a passion for science and the natural world, Karen keeps current on research in brain science, health, and pedagogy. As an advocate for children and the caregivers who support them, her work brings theory into practice. She currently is a Technical Assistant and Professional Development consultant, working across a wide range of childcare settings, observing issues that teachers face daily and need support around.
Cost: $80.00
