Building Self-Concept Skills

Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher uses intentional discussions to support children’s self-concept skills. Notice how she initiated conversations with the two children about whether or not they liked tomato soup and sweet potatoes. She asked questions like “Do you eat tomato soup at home?” “Do you like it?” “What do you like about it?” Planning for intentional activities and discussions to support self-concept skills is important because it helps children begin to understand who they are and be able to describe themselves as individuals.
