#TouroGSE educators, Drs. Susan Courey, Roslyn Haber and Prof. @timothybellavia, present on a new curriculum they are spearheading that will lead to improved outcomes in music, mathematics and social-emotional learning in high-need urban and rural kindergarten students. Once the pilot programs and randomized control trials are completed in 35 rural classrooms in Austin, Texas and 35 urban classrooms in New York City, the curriculum will be fully available and downloadable online and easily utilized by teachers with little or no musical background. “We’re taking counting out musical rhythms to a conscious level and in doing so, children will develop the ability to understand more abstract concepts of early numeracy and apply them to areas beyond music,” explains Dr. Courey. #curriculum #music #math #teachingmath #learningmath #ell #englishlanguagelearners #highneedsstudents #teachers #teachingteachers #teachereducation #mastersineducation #research #researchineducation #MyTouroGSE #edprepmatters

Congratulations to our professors Joanne Robertson-Eletto and Mary Esposito on publishing a new book “When Home Becomes School.” If you are concerned about learning loss due to the extended quarantine, not trained or confident using digital platforms and virtual learning modalities to build your child's knowledgebase and motivation to learn, not sure how to keep your child actively involved and interested in learning, then check out this book! This book is filled with teacher-tested and child-approved activities, literacy strategies, high-interest books and websites geared towards early readers and writers. The book includes games/activities to support alphabetic and print awareness, ways to build a child's sight word vocabulary, and instructional web links for parents/caregivers to view video clips. All of the ideas are flexible and easily adjusted to meet the individual needs of each child. #literacy #prek #prekactivities #kindergarten #firstgrade #sightwords #learningtoread #tipsandtricks #learningonline #resourcesforparents #resources #quarantine #covid_19 #covid #learningathome #whenhomebecomesschool #virtuallearning #earlyreaders #newbook #tourogse
