Webinar: Developing the Whole Child
The S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation, with facilitators from Turnaround for Children, present this special virtual event to engage program leaders, state leaders and board members to better understand how to apply the science of learning and development in our work.
Topics include:
- Learning about the core principles from neuroscientific, developmental, and learning science research.
- Understanding the critical role that context (the environments, relationships, and experiences to which children are exposed) plays in brain development
- Considering how a negative context – specifically stress and trauma – can impact children’s development
- Exploring how to apply what we know from the science to build positive contexts around children
