New Professional Development Opportunities for All

Check out this year-long social-emotional learning (SEL) training suite called A Foundation for Success
Series 1: Nurturing Children’s Relationships
The first series in this training suite, Nurturing Children’s Relationships, will provide educators with a strong understanding of how to build positive relationships with children and families, beginning with the skills to construct within themselves. Participants will learn to define the components of positive relationships, identify universal strategies for building relationships with and between children, and discover targeted ways to support children who need additional support with relationship-building skills. Series 2 and 3 will take place in the winter and spring.

Tools for Engaging in Challenging Conversations with Families and Colleagues
Communication with families and co-workers can be hard! Particularly when there is a sensitive topic to discuss. This three-part series will guide participants in navigating challenging conversations in the early childhood setting. It is designed to support all members of the early childhood community including families, administrators, teachers, and teaching assistants.

A Developmental Approach to Classroom Management
This newly revised 4-session series will provide participants with the foundation to understand children’s learning needs through a developmental lens. With a developmentally appropriate approach, educators can provide targeted and tailored support to teach new skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and support social-emotional skill acquisition. This series includes a session on understanding and responding to children who exhibit defiant and aggressive behaviors.

Autism Series: Structured Teaching, Visual and Proactive Behavior Supports, and Toilet Training with Neurodivergent Children
Join the Autism Project for a new three-part series on classroom strategies that support children’s learning and success in the classroom. This series is intended for those participants who have already completed any introductory training about autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Participants will learn about teaching practices related to structured teaching and visual supports, proactive behavior supports, and toilet training for neurodivergent children.

An ECERS-3 and ITERS-3 Refresher for Administrators and Teachers
Each one of these 2-part series will provide an overview of the important terms and components of the ITERS-3 or ECERS-3. These refresher series are meant to provide program administrators and teachers with an overview of the tool, how to best use it for program improvement, and prepare for a high-stakes ERS observation.
PD for School-Age Educators

Social and Emotional Learning in Out-of-School Time Programs
This training is an introductory course on understanding and implementing social and emotional learning in Out-of-School Time Programs. ​Participants will learn the key terms and concepts related to social-emotional learning, understand the impact that social-emotional learning has on school-age children, and learn how to create an OST environment that will support SEL.
