Collaboration and authentic assessment practices are integral components of any play-based assessment during
the evaluation process for young children. In these sessions, assessment teams will be introduced to the key
components of play-based assessment practices and strategies to support collaborative assessment activities.
Teams will have an opportunity to reflect on current evaluation practices and develop a plan to implement or
enhance their play-based assessment process in their programs. There are practice requirements between
sessions that will assist teams in their planning process. Participants must attend all three sessions.

Behaviors are feelings asking to be understood. Teachers, caregivers, and parents are always looking for ways to support children through difficult feelings and toward healthy ways of coping. The FLIP IT strategy offers a simple, kind, strength-based, commonsense, and effective four-step process for day-to-day challenges and challenging moments with children. This training teaches participants the four supportive steps of FLIP IT, designed to help young children (ages 3-8) learn about their feelings, gain self-control, and reduce challenging behavior.
