All early childhood professionals must be competent in the needed skills to care for young children. Everyone has abilities that stand out as strengths. Throughout this workshop, teachers and administrators will uncover their strengths and how to utilize them in optimum ways among a team and to progress the program.

This 2-hour training is designed to help early childhood educators explore classroom books that promote a positive sense of identity. When children see characters of their race and gender in a positive light, it allows for a deeper comprehension of the text because they can make self connections. Research shows that when children value their own identity, it helps them grow into more confident and accepting adults.
