Children’s learning is enhanced through positive interactions and responsive relationships. Quality interactions between teachers and children are respectful of diverse communication modes, responsive to cultural traditions and practices, and positively influence children’s learning dispositions and understanding of the language of learning.
Teachers and educators:
- engage in back-and-forth interactions with children
- invite children to wonder, imagine and inquire
- actively listen, acknowledge and respond to children’s knowledge, perspectives, capabilities and interests
- extend children’s thinking and learning through planned and spontaneous moments using intentional strategies such as questioning or scaffolding
- stimulate communication through rich play-based learning opportunities
- plan and reflect on learning with children.
