A highly effective recommended practice in early childhood
education, intentional teaching enhances all children's learning
through planned instructional strategies, conversations, and
activities that build on each child's needs and interests. Now
there's an evidence-based professional development framework-the
LEARN IT approach-that helps educators put intentional teaching
into action in their classrooms. Developed by the authors, LEARN IT
strengthens teaching in five steps: Learning new knowledge and
skills, Enacting knowledge and skills in the classroom, Assessing
the effectiveness of instructional interactions, Reflecting on and
revising practices based on the assessment, and Networking with
colleagues and mentors. Through unique professional development
activities that build skills through group meetings and individual
mentoring sessions, teachers will master essential elements of
intentional teaching and apply their new knowledge in the
classroom. Practical, flexible, and supportive, this proven plan
for professional development will help schools make lasting gains
in teacher effectiveness and boost learning outcomes for all young
children. Benefits of LEARN IT: * Demystifies key elements of
intentional teaching. Educators will discover how to facilitate
play, include each child, engage in culturally responsive practice,
assess diverse children, and link assessment with curriculum and
instruction. * Engages teachers with effective activities.
Facilitated professional development activities build teachers'
skills through group meetings, one-to-one sessions between
educators and mentors, and follow-up small-group meetings. *
Ensures lasting improvements. Going far beyond one-time teacher
trainings, the authors' ongoing LEARN IT approach ensures that
educators retain new skills and strategies and apply them in their
everyday work. * Evidence-based and field-tested. LEARN IT was
developed and tested for effectiveness during a multiyear research
project with Head Start teachers. * Fits a variety of professional
development needs. LEARN IT can be used with larger or smaller
groups of teachers, and activities are flexible and adaptable.
