Engagement in the Preschool Classroom
About Course
This course includes learning resources for preschool educators, developed based on the findings of the Singapore Kindergarten Impact Project (SKIP). Commissioned by NIEC, the Learning Resources was developed by NIE (CRCD) to provide learners with deeper knowledge of how to engage children through quality interactions. Learners will gain insights into what quality interactions look like, its benefits, and gain an overview of the three components of engagement in preschool classroom i.e. quality concept development, feedback and language modelling.

At the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- discuss quality teacher-child interactions and its benefits;

Upon completion of the course, you will be awarded a Certificate of Attainment from the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA).
