Description
The pre-primary years are extremely important as 85% of a child's cumulative brain development occurs prior to the age of 6. Foundational learning must therefore focus on stimulating the mind through a critical thinking curriculum to ensure healthy brain development and growth. Developing A Critical Thinking Curriculum For The Pre-Primary deep-dives into research on brain science and its impact on early childhood years to help teachers develop critical thinking in learners through literacy, language, numeracy, stories, songs, science, art, and STEM.This course provides a glimpse into the art of questioning and the ways to go beyond the text and ask questions that will expand knowledge and compel the child to think. Teachers will understand how simple concepts can become more meaningful and relatable, leading to deep learning. Teachers will learn how science and engineering can be woven into the curriculum through simple experimentation, observation, and comparison. The course incorporates videos, songs, visuals, and graphics to empower teachers with skills to develop a critical thinking curriculum.Know why critical thinking is important for students and teachersDevelop critical thinking in learners through literacy, language, numeracy, stories, songs, science, art and STEMIntegrate the above components for an inter-disciplinary approach in pre-primary teachingLearn strategies to trigger critical thinking through integration of subjectsImplement actionable strategies to incorporate critical thinking across the curriculumDevelop an understanding of the nature of the brain in the pre-primary segmentKnow the power of music, songs and rhymes in sharpening the brain and enhancing creativityUnderstand the importance of critical thinking for new-age literacy and future jobs
