Session 1: Building Relationships and Creating Supportive Environments.
Participants will learn strategies to build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues; design environments, schedules and routines; structure transitions; help children learn rules and routines and plan activities that promote engagement.
Session 2: Teaching Social-Emotional Skills
This training provides participants with information regarding the importance of intentionally teaching social-emotional skills. Key social-emotional skills and teaching strategies targeted in this training include friendship skills, emotional literacy skills, ability to control anger and impulse, and problem-solving skills. Resources to involve families and caregivers are shared. Connections to Early Childhood Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) are reviewed throughout the series.
During this 2-day series, participants will learn how to promote young children’s social-emotional development within the context of their existing PBIS framework (Tier I) utilizing the CSEFEL (Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning) model, elements of Conscious Discipline, and other popular social-emotional curriculum.
Attendees will have opportunities to use materials and apply new strategies in their classrooms and then return for discussion to share experiences, brainstorm solutions, and hone skills.
