Cognitive Development: Thinking to Learn (A Booklet for Kansas Families)

A child’s early development builds a foundation for later learning. The purpose of this booklet is to introduce families to some of the skills, called developmental milestones, that children develop and the order in which they happen. A sampling of ideas to help develop these skills is found in the following pages. Children develop differently, even in the same family. Two children, side by side, will not necessarily have the same skills at the same time. This booklet has been compiled to provide information on thinking, reasoning, and learning skills, or cognitive development, in young children and is intended for use by Kansas families. This booklet weaves a common thread of understanding related to what cognitive development looks like in early childhood. Suggested Use of This Document • As a starting point for conversations about the development of children. • As a guide for families to help support their child’s development through suggested activities. If you have concerns about the progress of your child, you might talk with your child’s doctor, local health department, teacher, or you may request a free screening by contacting the following agencies: For children birth to three years old, contact: Kansas Department of Health, Infant Toddler Services (800) 332-6262 For children over three years old, contact: Kansas State Department of Education (800) 203-9462 Let us know if we can be of further help! Sincerely, Kansas Parent Information Resource Center (KPIRC) 866-711-6711

Family Engagement: A Critical Component to Building An Empowering Culture in the Kansas Multi-Tier System of Support

Family engagement is a key aspect of Kansas MTSS. Within the Kansas Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS) framework, an empowering culture is a key component that supports the effective instruction of students. Families should be involved from the beginning as a school creates an empowering culture to support implementation of MTSS. Families need information on how MTSS will impact their children. This includes understanding what data will be collected, how it will be used and what supports will be provided to their child.

Collaboration for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning

CASEL was founded in 1994 by Daniel Goleman, the author of Emotional Intelligence, and educator/philanthropist Eileen Rockefeller Growald. CASEL's first years focused on gathering scientific evidence to demonstrate the contributions of social and emotional learning to students' school success, health, well-being, peer and family relationships, and citizenship. While still conducting scientific research and reviewing the best available science evidence, over time CASEL has increasingly worked to provide SEL practitioners and school administrators with the guidelines, tools, informational resources, policies, training, and supports they need to improve and expand their SEL programming.
