Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

-Identify strategies to improve young children's perceptual skills, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, and endurance through the development of basic gross and fine motor skills.

-Describe techniques to encourage a positive attitude toward physical activity, including age-appropriate risk-taking within safe boundaries.

The module will include videos, interactive quizzes (matching, true or false, sequencing), supplemental readings and a web-based lecture to support different learning styles. A script will be provided so participants can read what is said in the voiceover of the presentation.
