Early Learning Professional Learning Series 2019 - Dr. Janis Strasser

This presentation shares the many ways that early childhood teachers can use high level questions throughout the day and how "big questions" can help children think about and discuss diversity, families, and the school and home community. When we ask children questions that give them a chance to voice their own opinions, share their family experiences, and value their wonder and curiosity, we support their language and cognitive development.
