Identity Development Online Course-Key Topics:
In today’s world, young children need a strong, solid sense of who they are in order to adjust to the constant changes occurring in the world around them. Knowing themselves, being self-aware, provides children with a point of reference to understand and interact in their families, communities and society and they can draw upon their strengths to respond to challenges with resilience, an increased sense of safety which can expand feelings of hope and optimism.
Over the course of 3-5 hours, participants will gain a valuable understanding of how to support young children with a secure sense of identity that corresponds with their needs to understand themselves at various ages and stages of development. For young children to know who they are, we must try to see and understand the world through their eyes.
At the conclusion of the Identity Development online course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Childhood Education International (CE International). Should you experience any technical difficulties while taking this course, please send an email message to support@ceinternational1892.org.

Course Topics:
Early childhood is a critical stage of development and lays the foundation for life. Children experience tremendous brain development between birth and 8 years old. At this age they take in new information that is critical to the formation of active neural pathways. The people and environments that surround children are highly influential at this point in their development. As a result, it is critical that they feel safe and supported in order to grow and thrive. Children of all abilities can only develop optimally if their social, emotional, and educational needs are met. Commitment to such healthy development is the focus of our Health and Well-Being Practice Area.
Over the course of 4-5 hours, course participants will gain a critically valuable understanding of the impact trauma has on a young child’s development. Participants will also learn teaching strategies that address a child’s complete physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being.
These courses – designed by educators for educators – provide educators and other education leaders with the resources, knowledge, mindsets, and skills necessary to cultivate academic achievement and ensure well-being for refugee, immigrant, multilingual learner/emergent bilingual, and newcomer students.
Course participants will move through the online course at their own pace and engage in online discussions with colleagues. Course modules focus on concrete, culturally responsive, and assets-driven strategies to support multicultural, multilingual learners, especially newcomers. Courses provide 30 clock hours/CEUs upon successful completion.
The format will be online, asynchronous courses in 7 modules, plus 4 online Saturday workshops. 5 extra CEUs will be offered for each Saturday workshop attended.
Information about opportunities to enroll for fall 2024 is coming soon. Please contact us if you are interested in receiving information about the course when it is available.
