Enrich Your Practice as a Parent Educator, with Sara Moreno
How Sara Discovered The Confidence To Serve Families Holistically In Her Community and Beyond In this episode of the Learn With Less® podcast, Ayelet sits down with special educator, music educator, parent educator, speech therapist, and Learn With Less® facilitator, Sara Moreno of Mi Casa Abierta. Sara has been instrumental in the community and growth of the Learn With Less® Facilitator Training & Certification Program, and has been utilizing resources from Learn With Less® for the last several years. Sara has also taken on the task of translating and interpreting all the materials (lesson plans and caregiver handouts) for our “caregiver & me” programs into Spanish so that we can more inclusively and responsibly serve families from both multilingual (Spanish, English) and monolingual (Spanish) households. In this episode, we discuss: * Sara’s educational and professional background, and what brought her to the work she’s doing today* How Sara found the confidence to serve families more holistically, both in her own community in San Salvador, and beyond* Why the Learn With Less® Facilitator Training & Certification Program has been so valuable and transformational both for her practice, and in her personal life* The various new avenues she has explored due to her experience with the Learn With Less® program* Why the curriculum transcends culture and parenting philosophy, and is universally accessible to families who simply want more tools to support and connect with their young children Helpful Resources Related to This Episode Learn With Less® podcast episode: Educating Parents to be Their Child’s First Teacher, with Rachel Kammeyer Learn With Less® podcast episode: How to Impact Your Community With Parent Education and Parent Coaching Skills, with Laurel Smith Learn With Less® podcast episode: How Lesley Took Her Existing Skills as an Educator, and Started Serving Infant/Toddler Families In a Holistic, Meaningful Way Learn With Less® podcast episode: How to Use Your Skills as an Educator or Therapist to Serve Families Holistically as a Parent Educator, with Allie Glazer Learn With Less® Bundle: get our favorite infant and toddler development resources (save 70%)!
