    "Social and Emotional Development abc's of child development for parents for early care providers Social and emotional milestones are often harder to pinpoint than signs of physical development. This area emphasizes many skills that increase self-awareness and self-regulation. Research shows that social skills and emotional development (reflected in the ability to pay attention, make transitions from one activity to another, and cooperate with others) are a very important part of school readiness"

  • approach research on child development from both basic science and applied, public health perspectives.
  • My particular area of interest is in understanding how the quantity and quality of early experiences in children's lives influences how children think about and process information.

  • the goal of our research is to better understand the role that early experiences in children's lives have on development of brain structure and function.

  • Teachers are the caretakers of the development of students’ highest brain during the years of its most extensive changes. As such, they have the privilege and opportunity to influence the quality and quantity of neuronal and connective pathways so all children leave school with their brains optimized for future success.
  • We now know that through neuroplasticity, interneuron connections (dendrites, synapses, and myelin coating) continue to be pruned or constructed in response to learning and experiences throughout our lives.
  • The prefrontal cortex

  • the CEO that can manage and control our emotions.
  • undergoing maturation throughout the school years.
  • the emotion sensitive limbic system is a switching-station that determines which part of the brain will receive input and determine response output.
  • ew information cannot pass through the amygdala (part of the limbic system) to enter the frontal lobe if the amygdala is in the state of high metabolism or overactivity provoked by anxiety. It is important for teachers to know that when stress cuts off flow to and from the PFC, behavior is involuntary.
  • it is possible to decrease the stressors of frustration from work perceived as too difficult or boredom from repeated instruction after mastery is achieved
  • research reveals other causes of the high stress state in school and suggests interventions to reduce the stress blocking response in the amygdala.
  • most successful construction of working (short-term) memory takes place when there has been activation of the brain’s related prior knowledge before new information is taught.
  • help students increase working memory efficiency
  • with opportunities to make predictions, receive timely feedback, and reflect on those experiences.
  • Memory is Sustained by Use
  • needs to be activated multiple times and ideally in response to a variety of prompts for neuroplasticity to increase its durability
  • Retention is further promoted when new memories are connected to other stored memories based on commonalities, such as similarities/differences, especially when students use graphic organizers and derive their own connections.
  • Multisensory instruction, practice, and review promote memory storage in multiple regions of the cortex,
  • requires opportunities for students to transfer learning beyond the contexts in which it is learned and practiced

  • Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND) is a video coaching program that aims to strengthen positive interactions between caregivers and children.
  • If an adult’s responses are consistently unreliable, inappropriate, or simply absent, children may experience disruptions to their physical, mental, and emotional health.
  • FIND coaches film families for 10 minutes as they engage in everyday activities, such as playing a game or having a snack. The coaches then edit down the footage to three brief clips that highlight positive instances of parent-child interaction, and share these with the caregiver in weekly structured coaching sessions.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • streamline the process for sending and receiving video files for analysis, resulting in a far more cost-effective solution that maintained participant confidentiality
  • The researchers developed and have employed a protocol for editor certification to ensure the reliability of the edited footage.
