| Abstract | Despite contemporary importance placed on academics, social and emotional development in early childhood remains critical to long-term development across developmental domains and content areas. However, this area is seen as one of the most difficult for teachers to promote. It has been suggested that preparation for effective teaching in this area begins with teacher education programs. The purpose of this research study was to explore Early Childhood Education students’ opportunities to learn about knowledge of children’s social and emotional development and strategies for supporting it during early field placement pre-session and post-session teaching team meetings. These pre-session and post-session team meetings involved six early field placement students and three master teachers from three teaching teams were documented and analyzed for specific topics around social and emotional development. Results indicate that early field placement students were afforded opportunities for learning about anger and impulse control, interpersonal problem- solving skills, friendship skills, and emotional literacy through pre-session and post- session teaching team meetings. These findings are presented in relation to discourse moves, social and emotional content addressed, speaker role, and context for discussion. | en_US |
