Videos to Support Effective Use of ELM
The ELM Academy is producing videos of effective classroom practices that are part of ELM activity plans for infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children. The videos are organized by areas promoted by the ELM Curriculum, such as social-emotional and self-regulation development. They share the insights of child development experts and show practice examples filmed in classrooms using the ELM Curriculum.
