THE SHIFT FROM EARLY YEARS TO SCHOOL-AGE (ELGIN)


Registration opens December 1 at 7 PM

Facilitated by: Sarah Meka, MA, BCBA

In this 3-part series, Sarah will guide participants by challenging educators to shift their thinking in how inclusive and proactive programming can look as they shift from an early years perspective to a school-age perspective.

During the series, participants will learn about the escalation cycle, what it looks like, why preventative strategies should be prioritized, and general ideas for school-age programming.

Teams are encouraged to participate in this series together. Surveys before and after the sessions will support Sarah in understanding current understanding and learning priorities for participants.

Registration is for all three parts of this series.
