Assignment:

There are multiple influences on early development and learning. Knowing the theories is not enough for teachers; they need to have a deep understanding of how to apply them in the classroom and the home setting. Imagine you are an early childhood educator, and your director/principal has asked you to give a presentation to your students' families on child development theories. Create a 12-15 slide digital presentation that helps families understand their child's development and ways to support their learning throughout early childhood. Include the following in your presentation:

• Discuss the importance of understanding cognitive, behavioral, and social development theories for the early childhood classroom and their connections to learning.
• Brief summary of at least three theories and associated theorists related to child development. (One for each of the following theory types: cognitive, behavioral, and social development.)
• Discuss at least one strategy per theory type (cognitive, behavioral, and social development) to implement the theory in your classroom environment to create a healthy, respectful, supportive, and challenging learning environment for young children. Explain how this directly connects to motivation.
• Provide at least one strategy per theory type (cognitive, behavioral, and social development) for families to consider and implement in the home.

Support your presentation with 3-5 scholarly resources.
