Ses ion
Session Code: F34
This session will explore coaching
strategies, techniques, and support
systems to be implemented at the
classroom level in order to assist
teachers in using child assessment to
drive instruction. Join us as we
uncover ways to demystify data for our
teachers and develop coaching
plans that are individualized to be the
"right-fit" based on their own
knowledge and motivation to change.
With the goal of increasing child
outcomes, this session will focus on
how coaches can build capacity within
their educators as they partner
together to explore best practices
within the field of early childhood.
Exposure to Nature Creates
Resiliency!
Session Code: F36
2 hours | 3:00pm-5:00pm
In this training, participants will
investigate why nature education is
integral in early childhood education.
Participants will explore their own
history with nature and examine their
own comfort levels. Together, we will
create a continuum of nature usage in
the classroom, identify where
individuals currently fall on
this continuum and where they want to
be. Each participant will then create a
plan to take back that includes
setting a goal, identifying roadblocks,
resources and success.
