Play-based Learning Coaching & Teaching

The Early Childhood Initiative is committed to play-based learning coaching and teaching. Associate Professor and PDG primary investigator Dr. Kimberly Nesbitt, the UNH Early Learning Coaching Team, and PDG staff are spearheading efforts to share best practices and promote successful implementation of play-based learning statewide through practice-based coaching, professional development for key stakeholders, the creation and dissemination of resources, and research. The University of New Hampshire's commitment to play-based coaching and teaching is grounded in evidence-based best practices, is informed by ongoing research, and supports collaborative statewide efforts in response to New Hampshire's 2018 play-based learning amendment and as part of the NH Preschool Development Grant (PDG).
