ELCF M3: Principles and Practices (NSCECE/Online)

Module 3: Connecting Early Learning Principles and Practices

Building on Module 2: Pedagogical Leadership, this module provides an overview of the five early learning principles and six educator practices in the NSELCF. Participants will explore how these components relate to one another and begin identifying where they show up in their own programs. This session is designed to help educators become more familiar with and confident in using the language and structure of the framework.

Participants will:

• Describe principles of early learning and how they relate to early learning and childcare programming. 
• Identify early learning practices and their connections to curriculum decision making. 
• Demonstrate an understanding of the interconnectiveness of principles and practices. 
• Distinguish between principles and practices and apply them in an intentional way to everyday practice and curriculum decision making.
• Continue developing familiarity with the NSELCF and Educator’s Guide, as foundational tools for guiding reflective and intentional practice.
