Teacher Talk® course
International Hanen certification for early childhood professionals to promote the development of language, communication and social skills in children's natural environments - Online format
Who is it for?
It is aimed at early childhood educators (preschool teachers, classroom assistants, home-based educators and childcare staff) who work with children from birth to 5 years old. It is an inclusive training, useful for working with:
- Children with typical development.
- Children with language delays or difficulties.
- Children who are learning a second language (bilingual).
Duration and frequency
The full programme consists of 3 independent modules (Trainings A, B and C). Each module lasts 7 hours, adding up to 21 hours of professional development if all are taken.
What do we work on?
The programme divides learning into three main pillars, using practical workbooks and the analysis of real videos:
- Module A: Promoting language development in early childhood settings: This is the foundation of the programme. It focuses on how educators can interact so that children communicate more.
- Module B: Letting language lead the way to literacy: It focuses on emergent literacy and on preparing the ground before primary school.
- Module C: Promoting peer interaction in early childhood settings: It targets social skills and inclusion within the group directly.
