Yes We Can Build Self-Determination in Early Childhood! Starting early is a key to building successful self-determination skills! Leaders of our Augusta County Preschool program shared how they began to implement the skills and vocabulary of self-determination in their classrooms, how they plan to continue to build these practices, and how you can create a culture of self-determination in your classroom at any age at the I’m Determined Educator Aspire Symposium! Self-determination is supported through elements including choice-making, decision-making, problem-solving, goal-setting, self-regulation, self-advocacy, internal locus of control, self-efficacy, and self-awareness.
We appreciate our School Psychologists!
