Training Module: Education for a Civil Society
Description
An essential component of civil society is understanding what methods providers can use to teach children early democratic life skills. In this eight-week training module, providers will explore early childhood pioneers? philosophies within their environments and beliefs, using developmentally appropriate practices, and learn ways to use encouragement with children and activities to teach democratic life skills.
In this training module, explore lessons and apply that information to your skills and practices; engage in peer-to-peer learning through online discussion forums and two live Zoom sessions. Create a focus area statement to guide your activities toward supporting children in developing democratic life skills and reflect on your progress towards that vision each week.
This eight-week training module has weekly assignments, including online lessons, discussion forums, and personal reflective journals. In addition, there are two (2) live Zoom sessions on Thursday evenings of weeks four (5) and seven (7) and a one-on-one support appointment with your trainer (scheduled by you).
The training module will include the book Education for a Civil Society ? How Guidance Teaches Young Children Democratic Life Skills by Dan Gartrell.
This course is appropriate for people who work with preschool-aged or school-aged children in center-based and family child care settings.
