Description

FIRST STEPS COURSE

is a course developed by professionals at IFFD (International Federation for Family Development, www.iffd.org) that uses the Harvard case study method to explore parenting issues. It is meant to give confidence and practical assistance to parents, who are the first educators of their children.

One of the purposes of early education is to turn all the situations of family life into amazing moments of learning. Many studies show that adequate early stimulation is the most efficient tool to obtain a complete personal development, in the field of intelligence, psychomotor activity and behaviour. This course will help you to discover the main pedagogical frameworks and the basic habits that infants and toddlers should acquire.

WHAT IS THE LEARNING METHOD?

This course uses the case study method with the following steps for each case:

1. Individually each spouse reads the case study.
2. Spouses discuss the case study together.
3. Couples meet in a small group team to discuss the case study.
4. All course participants meet in moderated general sessions to discuss the case study.

For each step of the process the focus is on the the following:

  • The FACTS of the case: Who? What? Where? When?
  • The PROBLEM in the case: Why?
  • The SOLUTIONS to the case: How?

WHO should take the course?

For married couples with children 0-3 yrs (or soon to be parents).

WHAT is the benefit of taking the course?

The course will provide parents with practical knowledge and skills for enjoying this stage of parenting while raising a happy family. Working through each case provides concrete experience and develops practical skills that can be applied to issues at home, work, anywhere, in every situation.

COST?

$180 per couple (includes course materials, refreshments & free parking)
