This unit examines the area of the brain based learning with a particular focus on the development of the young child's brain and is of particular relevance to those who work with young children. We begin by looking at the structure and functions of the brain, and the impact that sensory deprivation can have on these. We consider the implications of current understandings of brain development for teaching and learning, particularly in an early years setting, and finish by exploring the value of play (particularly outdoor play) in children's learning and the development of their brains.

We use the term knowing in doing to refer to the knowledge children spontaneously use in their play activity. In the richly detailed context of play, children do not think, then act, as i planning their play some sequential, deliberate way. Rather, their play activity stems from the creative synergy of the moment. It is shaped by the here and now, the just-previous activity, and all sorts of ideas and notions accrued from past experience.

Social-Emotional Learning is essential for work and school environments. Since it is the transition to high school, this is very important at the middle school level. Students will learn how to be self-aware and build healthy relationship skills. Once the entire social-emotional lesson is completed, the students learn how to: work with others, build resiliency, achieve goals, reduce bullying, and prevent risky behaviours.

This goal of this course is to introduce learners to phonological awareness, a foundational component of reading development in young children. This unit is meant to introduce pre-service teachers to the concepts of phonological awareness and how to work with English Learners in their oral language development. Phonological awareness is often misunderstood, therefore not addressed accurately in classroom settings. The course is intended to supplement an existing course in foundational reading development.
