If you work with early learners, be sure to join CESA 9 for this dynamic early learning event focused on addressing behavior.
Do you feel like you are dealing with challenging behavior all the time and struggling to find time to teach content? Are you looking for new ideas or strategies to add to your “tool box”?
Participants will strengthen their understanding of the following concepts:

How adult perceptions of behavior and regulation impacts meaningful instruction (connection before curriculum)
Creating supportive environments by using collaboration/teaming and universal practices as a foundation for learning
Implementing evidence-based improvement strategies to intentionally teach lagging social-emotional skills

Participants will walk away with tools and practical strategies that can be implemented to support improved social-emotional skills, academic outcomes, AND reduce behaviors that adults find challenging.
Audience: Early childhood special education administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, related service providers, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, pupil services staff, Head Start administrators and staff, child care professionals. Individuals and teams are encouraged to attend.
Cost: $75/person (lunch will be provided). Each participant will receive a “Building a Positive and Supportive Classroom” trifold, an adult regulation goody bag, and choose either a Prevent-Teach-Reinforce book, or a Cara’s Kit.
