Current Status
The pedagogical methodology of Synapse Child Education (Synapse EI) is ready and widely tested in municipalities in Sergipe and currently the reapplicators teachers are participating in the construction of the Child Development Agents (ADI) methodology, in partnership with CRIA Social Technology, aiming at joint initiatives related to early childhood, motherhood and health










Historic
Starting in 2018, Synapse EI was built in alignment with Synapse, with the aim that students entering elementary school would arrive in more appropriate conditions to perform better in the learning process, a long-standing demand from the literacy teachers.
The Synapse EI methodology is based on mapping the main difficulties encountered in the classroom, preparing activity plans and systematizing the educational reality of schools, in a participatory process involving teachers from municipal schools in Santa Luzia do Itanhy. In 2019, the first version of the Lesson Plan Booklet was prepared for each age group in early childhood education, aligned with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the Sergipe Curriculum. In addition, in order to assist teachers in developing playful and immersive activities, two Pedagogical Support Materials for Early Childhood Education (MAPEIs) were developed. In 2020, the limitations of the pandemic required some adaptations of Social Technology, transferring its actions to the virtual format. This experience also demonstrated the need to develop specific work with teachers, with regard to self-perception and self-esteem, with psychological support. In 2023, the actions were consolidated in all schools in Santa Luzia do Itanhy and carried out in Laranjeiras, reaching six municipalities in Sergipe, including teacher training, materials on mental health, first aid workshops, distribution of teaching materials and the creation of a planning support group, demonstrating Synapse's commitment to offering quality education that takes care of the mental health and well-being of children and educators. In 2024, the re-applicants of Synapse Educação Infantil took the methodological framework of Social Technology to TS NHAM, contributing significantly to pedagogical actions. They held training meetings with NHAM's food educators and participated in pedagogical journeys promoted by Rede Synapse, representing the Synapse EI methodology. In addition, teachers from the municipalities where Synapse EI operates continue to be connected in a network format, strengthening the educational practices developed. These actions had an important impact on the consolidation and strengthening of pedagogical practices.
