Embedded learning opportunities

Module 12

Embedded learning opportunities ensure that children’s outcomes and individually targeted skills (behaviors) are addressed during daily activities in a manner that expands, modifies, or is integral to the activity in a meaningful way (Pretti-Frontczak & Bricker, 2004)

Participants in Preschool SDI will be able to:

Describe embedded learning opportunities and why they are important.
Design a classroom matrix that identifies when SDI can be embedded throughout the day.
Use ARC to design embedded learning opportunities for specific children and outcomes.
