Teaching to Strength

Teaching to Strength

 In this week’s media segment, Janis  Keyser, Early Childhood Educator, explains how the “teaching to  strength” approach is affirming and motivating for children. Rather than  focusing on “fixing” areas of weakness, “teaching to strength”  emphasizes building on and shaping positive traits, instilling a  positive attitude to learning, and expanding children’s areas of  expertise. Through this approach, early childhood professionals become  keenly aware of the particular characteristics and preferences of the  children with whom they work.
