Ada 2017 Conference: Minds & Hearts Together

Description

Please join internationally known Early Childhood Educator Ellen Booth Church for a lively look at very practical ways create a balance between Social-Emotional Learning and Academics. It starts with our Infants and Toddlers and grows with each year of maturation. This keynote will offer caregivers of all ages an interactive, fun and inspiring keynote that supports the notion that “ALL learning as social-emotional learning”. Children do not learn skills in isolation but through social connection and interconnection to the real world—their world. It is their curiosity about the world that stimulates their desire to learn and to share what they have learned. Children live their lives with their hearts and minds open and connected. From that union of heart and mind, they develop into people who are balanced, happy, and successful.
