Understanding Children: Creating and Enhancing Learning Environments

Join a community of online learners. We all benefit from community and connection. 2020 has made remote learning and home learning a necessity. We’re currently registering for the online course Understanding Children, which starts June 29, 2020. Every quarter we have a different focus, and this summer we’ll be examining creating remote learning environments and enhancing home learning opportunities. 

The class is 5 credits and consists of weekly readings/videos, online class discussions, and occasional shorts essays. It’s appropriate for parents, teachers, early childhood professionals, caregivers and others with children in their lives-infant through young adult.

Topics will include:

  • How children learn in different settings (home/remote)
  • Adapting learning environments during COVID-19 (for parents and teachers)
  • Activity/play-based learning and
  • Strategies for avoidance, power struggles and fatigue

The course number is FAM 184 and the link to register is https://mynorth.seattlecolleges.edu/
