Education & Teaching Question

For this assignment, create an original resource using Microsoft PowerPoint, Shapes/SmartArt feature in Microsoft Word, or a free online timeline creator tool to inform others of brain development across the continuum of early childhood. Your goal is to share information on how brain development is fostered or hindered through experiences and how this impacts learning at different age groups. Be sure to use outside resources as well as a reference page to validate your ideas.

Your resource should include descriptions of the following:

1. Your role and audience. (For example, you might be a family childcare provider informing families of how one activity supports brain development for each child in the program, or you may be a child development specialist providing training to early childhood educators).
2. One or more experiences that support and hinder brain development. Include details to describe the experience(s) and explain how it impacts development. (For example, describe how an educator is responsive to an infant’s cues and why these actions build trust and a secure relationship).
3. Connections between the experience and development at different age ranges. (For example, how will the secure relationship with the infant support this child as a toddler?). The experience(s) should be connected to each of the following age groups: Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, School-Age.
