In my lifetime, there has never been a situation like we find ourselves in right now – where educators are separated from children and families because of a global pandemic. Neither educators or parents were prepared for the stresses and unknowns of how this would affect schools, families, and our children.
This mini e-course is for educators and parents of children in childcare, early learning and kindergarten programs who are supporting children’s learning at home. It offers a reflective look at how educators and parents can engage children in learning that motivates and inspires children and adults alike.
3Rs for Children’s Learning in a COVID-19 World are Reflect, Reassess, and Reimagine. This mini-course was inspired by the words of Deb Curtis and Lorrie Baird who, in Deb Curtis’s book Really Seeing Children, urge educators to see how the actions of our hands tell children how we see them. In this mini-e-course we explore how we can celebrate the ways we are able to touch children’s lives even in the midst of a global pandemic.
This course includes:
- 35 minutes of video lectures
- Links to two musical videos
- Ideas for practical home learning experiences shared by educators
- Ideas for practical home leaning experiences shared by parents
- Inspirations for home learning from the Reggio Approach in Italy
- Additional resources

I am an ECE student at Seneca and working as an EA at school. I can not tell how it touched my heart. It was really genuine and mindful. The way she talks grabbed my all attention to listen, read the text, and watch videos. It was perfect. I wish all courses performed like this. I appreciate it.
Just like Susan said, “as the pandemic, societal, and learning landscape changes, we can regain our balance by setting our sights on what we care about deeply – our children”. As early childhood educators, we should always care about meeting children’s goals and motivate their learning and development. From this grounded place, educators can reflect, reassess and reimagine in an ongoing circle.
Loved the overall feeling behind
