Teaching Toddlers at Home: Course Description
Whether they're playing, talking or observing, toddlers are absorbing knowledge. Interaction with parents and caregivers can have a profound effect on childhood development. This course looks at how toddlers learn by talking and playing with the adults around them. Video observations of children in learning situations are used to analyze toddler interaction with adults and peers. Psychological and educational theories such as effective tuition (a method of teaching children that encourages them to master challenging tasks) are illustrated through the videos. The intended goal is to explain how appropriate instruction can guide children toward successful learning.
Study materials and related resources are available free online. If you are interested in taking this course, visit the teaching and learning at home course page.
