Balanced Intervention

You know how to teach children; it’s your super power. Do you know how to teach adults too? As an early interventionist or an ECSE teacher using virtual parent coaching, it is becoming more and more essential that you have an understanding of how caregivers learn. Join this webinar to discover how integrating six adult learning principles into your practice can help you balance the intervention you provide so that both learners – the caregiver and the child – are engaged and learning during and between visits!
 
Participant Outcomes:
 
Recognize the link between caregiver coaching and adult learning
Identify 6 adult learning principles
Learn from a mother of a preschooler who also received EI about the importance of supporting caregiver learning via video clips
Gain at least 5 strategies for integrating adult learning principles into coaching practices with families
Plan for how to use what they learn after the webinar by focusing on a specific principle or strategy to add to their practice.
