Get ready to reignite your passion for early childhood education at the most dynamic gathering of the year! The 2025 WECA Conference isn't just another professional development event—it's where great ideas come to life and careers are transformed.
Each month we will explore a specific EBIS that is effective with preschoolers. We will look at the components of that EBIS, how to implement it with fidelity, look at it in action, how to evaluate its effectiveness, and many other aspects.
These training sessions are great for new ECSE teachers and related service providers. Each session will focus on various aspects of EC Indicators.
This 2-day event will train facilitators to use the NCPMI Positive Solutions for Families content. Facilitators will use the materials with families of preschools to promote understanding and use positive behavior support that enhances social and emotional competence in their children.
Participants will dig deep into each step of the IEP process and apply the information learned to their own IEPs. Participants are encouraged to have a general overview of the CCR IEP process.
If this is your first or second year of teaching early childhood special education, and you need some support to boost your confidence in your career working with preschool children with IEPs and their families, register now for this online professional learning experience.
By the end of the cohort, participants will be able to confidently implement strategies that foster positive, engaging learning environments and create skill-based instructional plans.
