How do we support high-quality early learning experiences?
Advancing Effective Interactions and Instruction (AEII) helps equip Virginia's early childhood teachers with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to prepare each child for a great start in school. Our coaching model promotes teachers’ well-being and helps teachers implement equitable social-emotional teaching practices. This promotes positive teacher-child interactions and helps children grow their social-emotional skills, which are foundational for school readiness.
