The learning environment shapes a child’s entire learning journey. These spaces help with academics, social-emotional development, and building relationships. Your room’s arrangement, materials, and how you present them all affect learning, for both the children and you.

My favorite thing about this webinar is the #earlychildhood teacher and coach voice highlighted on equal footing as the other panelists. Reminds me of my Hope Street Group days working on K-12 teacher voice.
