CECE Produces New Educational Video

Eastern's Center for Early Childhood Education has released "Supporting Children's Individual Needs," an educational video that discusses the challenge that preschool teachers face when planning for an entire classroom while meeting each child's individual needs. In the video, Education Professor Ann Gruenberg stresses the importance of observing children and assessing their strengths and needs to determine how best to support them. The video also features Niloufar Rezai, director of Eastern's Child and Family Development Resource Center, reflecting on strategies she used as a preschool teacher to identify and support a child's learning needs.

 The video is the sixth in the e-clips series of free educational videos for early childhood professionals developed by Communication Professor Denise Matthews. The video was developed with the assistance of three Eastern communication students who have since graduated: Karl Gray, Dan Young, and Kerin Jaros-Dressler.  Ken Measimer served as production coordinator, and the staff in Media Services provided studio support.
