Please see below for training title, description and link to register. There are unlimited spots for this training. For those in Licensed Programs this training will give you 2 STARS hours.
Training Description: When we document children's learning, we open up a world of understanding and show how much we value what children are capable of. In this class, learn new techniques for observing, documenting and assessing children in a natural, play-based way.

Mark your Calendars! On Friday, December 16th from 11:30am – 12:30pm we will be joined by Butterfly Pediatrics for their monthly conversations with us this school year to discuss student behavior.

th any situation/example you are dealing with that you would like the experts from Butterfly Pediatrics to discuss during the virtual meeting. I will be sending these case studies in advance to the Butterfly team so they can be prepared to give you as much information as possible during our time together. Even if you are not able to join the meeting, you can still submit situations and we will record the conversations and send a recording link to all.
