HOW DO WE ENHANCE CHILDREN'S LEARNING ENVIRONMENT? The learning environment is a broad and profound term. It is much more than the physical environment with walls, furniture, and some toys here and there. It is vital to consider its design. The classroom should be specifically designed for little learners—and designed with the children who will spend time there! The most important thing is to consider the children's age, developmental needs, learning targets, interests, and personalities.   The more the learning environment mirrors the children, the more they will love it and learn in it! In our most recent blog posts, we explore the learning environment from 3 important angles: 1️⃣ How do we assess the classroom as a learning environment? 2️⃣ How do we make different play areas visible and interesting? 3️⃣ How to create a good emotional learning environment? You can explore all from Kindiedays blog. 👉 Click the link to start! https://lnkd.in/d8kV3NmU #learningenvironment #playandlearn #earlyeducation #playfullearning #playarea #kindiedays

In the Global classroom, puppets are a tool that create a dynamic and engaging way to connect with children, enhance learning, and support development. Teachers can use puppets to model social scenarios, teach problem-solving, and introduce emotional literacy by acting out different feelings and situations. Puppets also help children feel more comfortable, offering a playful medium for shy or anxious students to engage in discussions. #earlyeducation #earlyeducationteachers

Multisensory Learning is Essential! What is it? Multisensory instruction involves engaging more than one sense at a time (taste, touch, sight, hearing, and movement). Why is it important? When multiple senses are activated during learning, synapses are strengthened, making the learning process much more effective.

https://lnkd.in/gqPxbqeV #UniversalDesignLearning what is it? It sounds great, but how can we create a learning environment that is #flexible enough to cater to different #learningstyles? As an #advocate for #inclusion there are themes and patterns that can either serve as a tool for inclusion or be a #barrier. #Agency - a person being provided with and encouraged to have #choices. This allows an individual to self advocate and choose what will suit them. A sense of #ownership and improved #engagement. #LivedexperiencePerspective and #CoDesign multiples points of view, fused together to create a more #accessible whole. I feel #inspired after watching this clip where a teacher talks about his #struggles engaging in learning as a child with #ADHD and how he has taken that #experience and used it to create a #classroom environment based on Unviersal Design Learning. This is just under a 10mins clip, but if you are interested in #inclusiveeducation it is worth watching! 👇 NeuroEmploy Barb Cook, M.Aut., Dip.HSc.

What do you do when you have planned an outdoor activity but the sun comes up blazing hot? An outdoor lesson would be nice but my pupils will not be comfortable with the heat and the sun. So,we stayed indoors and made our Phonics learning fun with indoor hopscotch. This is a low-prep activity that requires only paper, transparent tape, and markers. Save this post, you might need it for a sunny or a rainy day 😊. 𝐼 𝒶𝓂 𝐿𝓊𝒸𝓎 𝒪𝒸𝒽𝑒, 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫.
