The Abecedarian Approach in Action
The workshop will have an overview of the 3a approach, research and what it looks like in action in the 0-8 space.
3a is a longitudinal early childhood intervention that introduces children to the rules of the “Learning Game”.
3a is a set of strategies that work in alignment with the National Quality Standard, building educators to have rich language interactions with the children in their care.
