Creating Classroom Harmony by Finding the Right PITCH: Set up the Physical environment for regulation by Dr. Tamar Andrews

You might be picking up on an imbalance in the P.I.T.C.H. — a framework that identifies four key environments that shape early childhood programs: the Physical, Interpersonal, Temporal, and Curricular environments. When these four elements are in sync, your program strikes the right PITCH—creating a sense of flow, regulation, and well-being for children and staff alike. But when they’re out of tune, the whole environment can feel disjointed and overwhelming.  This inspiring webinar, presented by Tamar Andrews, Ed.D., and Lindsay Astor Grant, MA, OTR/L is the highly requested second part of our PITCH series (Physical, Interpersonal, Temporal and Curricular environments) to increase harmony and decrease dysregulation. Walk with us through a classroom and see what the components of high-quality physical environments are designed.

In this Webinar, you will learn how to:

• Set up a classroom to reflect challenging and high quality learning

• Through observation, understand which types of changes to the physical environment can help promote greater regulation

• Recognize that the classroom’s physical environment is actually the First teacher in the room

• Understand the difference between what manufacturers suggest and what is best for young children

• Learn about the components required for a high quality environment
