The Effect of Modelling When Teaching Children

As educators we are constantly being watched and copied by the children we teach. Modelling is a powerful strategy that educators use to teach everything from explicit instruction, to being curious and showing grit and determination in the face of struggle. Our attitude towards learning and our enthusiasm for learning are all picked up by children through the power of modelling. Because children learn through observation, we educators and parents must ensure that our attitudes and outlook, mirror that which we would like to see in children.🔗 Links:Learn more: How to Stay Curious as an EducatorThe Power of Observation, A Guide for TeachersHow to Nurture Keen Observational Skills in Kids to Help Them Learn🆓 Download the FREE e-guide How to Nurture Natural Curiosity HERE✍️ Sign up to Get Curious, the inspirational weekly newsletter for curious parents and educators HERE💌Connect with Edwina:Email: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/blooming_curious/Website: https://www.bloomingcurious.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bloomingcuriousYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@edsbloomingcurious☕️ If you like my work and want to encourage me to keep going you can do so by Buying me a Coffee.
