We know you're counting on us so you can make a difference for children. There is nothing more important to all of us at Cox Campus than ensuring educators and practitioners have free and open access to the professional learning that they need. We are aware that the Cox Campus servers are experiencing interruptions and are working diligently to get the campus operational as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.

Art Center

There are many ways to interact with children and encourage language development at the art center. Teachers can encourage children to talk about their work by using open-ended prompts such as, “Tell me about your painting, collage, sculpture.” After children have finished, encourage them to sign their artwork on the front or back. When children dictate a description of their work, write their words on a separate piece of paper unless they give permission to write on their artwork. Also, encourage children to talk with their peers about their artwork. These conversations occur more naturally when children work next to each other.
