SUMMARY:Book Study: From Behaving to Belonging - Series 1\, 5 Sessions
DESCRIPTION:In From Behaving to Belonging\, Julie Causton and Kate MacLeod detail how teachers can shift from a “behavior management” mindset (that punishes students for “bad” behavior or rewards students for “good” or “compliant”  behavior) to an approach that supports all students—even the most challenging ones—with kindness\, creativity\, acceptance\, and love. \nChallenging behavior is one of the most significant issues educators face. Though it may seem radical to use words like love\, compassion\, and heart when we talk about behavior and discipline\, the compassionate and heartfelt words\, actions\, and strategies teachers employ in the classroom directly shape who students are—and who they will become. Learn how teaching from the heart can translate into effective supports and practices for students who exhibit challenging behavior. \n\nRegistration deadline: September 19\, 2025\, or when registration is at capacity.\nThere will be a waiting list for Series 1\, 5 sessions\, OR you may register for Series 2\, 5 sessions.\nThis is a no-cost event.\nAll participants will receive a copy of “From Behaving to Belonging: The Inclusive Art of Supporting Students Who Challenge Us\,” and an additional resource.\n\nBe sure to complete the address information upon registration.  The address provided will be where the books are mailed.\n\n\nRead chapters assigned to each session so that individual journaling & reflection activities are completed prior to the virtual group session.\nDuring the virtual group sessions\, participants will reflect and share ideas.\n\nWhen registering\, participants must commit to and attend all virtual session dates in the series. \nREGISTER HERE \nAll sessions are 3:30PM – 4:30PM. The login information will be provided to attendees prior to the session. \nSERIES 1:\nOctober 21\, 2025\nNovember 6\, 2025\nNovember 18\, 2025\nDecember 4\, 2025\nDecember 16\, 2025 \nSeries 2 dates are: January 13\, 2026; January 26\, 2026; February 12\, 2026; February 26\, 2026; March 12\, 2026) To register for Series 2 and commit to attending all Series 2 sessions\, click HERE. \nAudience:  This is a statewide event and is open to all EC Special Education and regular education teachers\, administrators\, paraprofessionals\, related service providers\, and pupil services staff \nContent questions: Kurstin Kolodziej (kkolodziej@cesa9.org) or Krista Johnson (kjohnson@cesa3.org) \n\nThe Early Learning Technical Assistance & Implementation grant CFDA# 84.173A acknowledges the support of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (WDPI) in the development of this federally-funded grant project.

SUMMARY:Evidence-Based Improvement Strategies in Early Childhood 2025-26
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn new teaching strategies to use with your students? Evidence-Based Improvement Strategies (EBIS) are teaching methods\, strategies\, and interventions that have been scientifically proven to be effective. EBIS are based on research and are intended to help teachers provide students with high-quality instruction. EBIS can help improve student outcomes and take the guesswork out of teaching by providing specific approaches. \nEach 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. Several resources will also be provided for each specific EBIS. If you are interested in learning new teaching methods and strategies\, this is the place to be. \nAll meeting times:  3:30PM-4:30PM. Register for all sessions that you wish to attend. \nPlease register by 3:00 PM the day before the session you wish to attend to ensure you receive the login information in time.  \nREGISTER HERE \nTopics: \n\nReinforcement (October 6\, 2025)\nTime Delay (November 4\, 2025)\nVisual Supports (December 1\, 2025)\nTask Analysis (January 6\, 2026)\nSocial Narratives (February 4\, 2026)\nAAC (March 4\, 2026)\n\nAll events are offered virtually and at no cost. (EL-TAI grant covers the cost for attendees.) \nAudience: This is a statewide event and is open to anyone who works with young children and wants to learn new teacher strategies. The focus will be on children ages 3-5. \n\nThe Early Learning and Technical Assistance and Implementation grant CFDA# 84.173A acknowledges the support of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (WDPI) in the development of this federally-funded grant project.
