Language and Literacy
Each participating Family, Friend, Neighbor (FFN) will receive materials such as books, bookshelves, rugs, tables and chairs, writing, and dramatic play and other materials when attending trainings. The more trainings they attend the more materials they will receive. These will be used in the reading/writing corners to encourage each child’s reading skills. With these resources and assistance, the Language & Literacy program ensures home-based environments where kids spend much of their time are equipped with the resources necessary to prepare young learners for kindergarten.
Take Your Career Further
Professional development is offered face-to-face, via distance learning, and one annual Early Childhood Conference. ASCC’s philosophical foundation is based on five simple things that mean you can use the new information learned in your classroom tomorrow:
- Adults are independent learners
- Participants have experiences which add value to other’s learning
- Learning must be relevant to the work
- Learning must be immediately applicable
- Adults are motivated to learn
Each session includes active experiences and connections to the work, concluding with a plan to immediately apply the newly acquired knowledge and skills.
