Teaching young children socio-emotional skills through a program for practitioners   Ensemble for Early Childhood Education is an ISSA Member established in 2016 whose mission is to have a systemic impact on early childhood education and care (ECEC) quality by supporting early childhood professionals on the field and through advocacy actions. One of their initiatives is a teacher training program focused on socio-emotional learning (SEL).

Children’s long term success at school is influenced as much by social, emotional and self-regulation skills as by academic skills and knowledge. The overall goal of SEED was to improve psychosocial well-being and healthy development of young children (2,5 to 6 years old), with an emphasis on those growing up in difficult circumstances such as children on the move, children with a low socio-economic status or children victims or witnesses of domestic violence. We did this by conducting a country level screening of psychosocial well-being of 5-year-old children in 5 countries in Europe.

These Guidelines are the outcome of the second part of the SEED project, during which a group reflection pathway, called WANDA1, was piloted with 80 ECEC practitioners with the aim to help them to deal with daily challenges in their practice so they could better support the socio-emotional well-being of children in their care.
