Are You Supporting Emotional Development?
December 22, 2016
Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
-e. e. cummings, American poet, 1894 - 1962

In their article "Administrative Practices that Support Children's Emotional Development," (Exchange, November/December 2016) Kay M. Albrecht, Jennifer C. Fiechtner, and Margaret Banks identify "four administrative strategies that help directors ensure their teachers have the specialized knowledge and teaching skills needed to be effective in supporting children's emotional development."

Strategy 1: Pay close attention to building relationships with and between teachers;

Strategy 2: Observe teachers in action and provide specific feedback;

Strategy 3: Focus professional development experiences on children's emotional development and ways to support it;

Strategy 4: Think about family engagement from the perspective of relationship-building.
