About the Talk 

Learning in the early years happens through play, movement, conversation, and interactivity. The curriculum is based on a balance of academic, socio-emotional and physical learning that we have always known to experience through real time, face to face interactions between teachers and students. However, COVID-19 has forced us to rethink our ways. Ashrita and Pooja deep dive into how to embrace technology, adapt our lessons and connect with students and parents virtually – all the while keeping play and socio-emotional learning at the center. 

Using the 6 Transdisciplinary Themes, Ashrita and Pooja give you hands-on strategies, tools, games, and structures to make remote learning in the early years a success. 

Deep dive into their ideas here.
