Analizaremos interacciones que promueven la autorregulación y brindaremos consejos proactivos para usar a diario.

Los participantes explorarán lo que la investigación indica sobre las experiencias tempranas en matemáticas y ciencias\, y cómo los materiales enriquecidos y las interacciones de calidad entre adultos y niños pueden apoyar el desarrollo matemático y científico a lo largo del día. Esto ayudará a garantizar que los niños adquieran las habilidades y disposiciones fundamentales que respaldarán su éxito futuro. \nSesión 5 – Introducción a las Mejores Prácticas: Lenguaje y Alfabetización:\nEsta sesión presentará las mejores prácticas para fomentar interacciones ricas que promuevan el desarrollo del lenguaje y la alfabetización.
