| Domain Training provides in-depth training into the 7 Learning Domains in 6-hour modules having Core of Knowledge clock hours credit. The following are the definitions of the 7 Learning Domains as utilized in the Maryland Model for School Readiness (MMSR) and the Work Sampling System (WSS). PERSONAL & SOCIAL development is the setting for how a child interacts with the world, and how they begin to assert themselves in the world. Personal and social development in children evolves through the relationships established with their parents and caregivers, and their success or lack of success in approaching the world as they grow and develop. Component concepts in this domain include: self- concept, self-control, approaches to learning, interaction with others and conflict resolution. LANGUAGE & LITERACY includes children’s developing speaking, writing and reading skills. Readiness includes having had exposure to and understanding of language – written and spoken - but does not require that they are reading and writing. Daily experiences with language through increasingly complex opportunities in their environment and being allowed to express themselves verbally and through written communication is crucial to their development in this domain. Component concepts in this domain include: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and research The basis for children’s ability to perform higher level MATHEMATICAL THINKING problems begins from a very young age. Children need experience and a background to learn basic concepts to be able to problem solve and have an understanding of mathematical processes. Component concepts in this domain include: mathematical processes, number and operations, patterns, relationships and functions, geometry and spatial relations, measurement, and data collection and probability. The SCIENTIFIC THINKING domain focuses on scientific investigation as these are necessary steps to science instruction and content. Learning about their world around them and giving children the opportunities to become competent with the tools necessary to do so is a part of this domain. Component concepts in this domain include: inquiry, physical science, life science, and earth science. The SOCIAL STUDIES domain includes the ever widening perspective children have of the people and places around them. Providing children with information and opportunities to discuss and observe different cultures and about their own gives them critical skills in this domain. Component concepts in this domain include: people, past and present, human interdependence, citizenship and government, and people and where they live. The ARTS domain includes children’s participation in art in the broader meaning-dance, dramatics, fine arts, and music. It involves children participating actively and learning to place value in what they are observing. Component concepts in this domain include: Expression and representation and understanding and appreciation. The PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT & HEALTH domain stresses the importance of a child’s physical development as a vital piece to their overall development and education. Component concepts in this domain include: gross motor development, fine motor development and personal health and safety.
