You have the staff you want in place, and all are great? Not really. Now it’s time to think about how you provide support and coaching to the staff so they continue to build on their knowledge and skills. During this session, participants will learn how they can build in time to coach and support staff competencies to continue their professional growth. It is just as important to work on retaining the staff as it is to attract the right staff. We will explore ways to do that in this 3-hour Ohio-approved training.

Teachers must support children in building healthy social and emotional development. To facilitate this growth, teachers must have strong social and emotional regulation skills. During this 3-hour Ohio-approved workshop, we will examine the CSEFEL Pyramid as a foundation to what strong social and emotional development looks like across an early childhood program. Together, we will explore factors that can affect the social and emotional needs of teachers, such as changing regulations, burnout, and secondary stress.
