Simple Interactions is a strengths-based, practice-focused, and community-driven approach to support professionals- such as ECE teachers- who serve children and families. The approach was developed by the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning.
The Simple Interactions approach respects, honors and supports ECE teachers like us by identifying the “ordinary” things that we can do extraordinary well for children- which is to have these simple, meaningful interactions. This approach focuses on how teachers who, regardless of resource limitations and/or ongoing challenges, find ways to provide consistent positive interactions for the children in their care. These simple, meaningful moments with children are our true strengths- and we can do this even when we feel stressed or discouraged.
The Simple Interaction approach and accompanying ideas were presented as part of a training with our staff at our February 2020 Staff Training.
