SUMMARY:The New Professional's Quick Start Guide to the CCR&R System
DESCRIPTION:Most new early childhood professionals came to their job because they like children and they want to have an impact with their development. But many of the first steps for a new hire in the field are met with paperwork\, setting up training accounts\, understanding safe systems\, etc. Also\, many managers are stretched so thin that their time for hands-on help with these tasks is limited. This training will assist both the new staff and managers in completing parts of this onboarding process. Participants will learn about Gateways\, the why and how\, and actually walk through the process of setting up and account/learning how to use it to manage professional development requirements. We will look at scholarship assistance through Gateways and ECACE as well as review required trainings and how to self-report then. Finally\, we will review the supports available through 4-C. \nTrainer: Maggie Fern\, 4-C Recruitment\, Retention\, Referral and Outreach Specialist \nAudience: All Providers\, including those who are new to the ECE field \n1.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free

SUMMARY:Someone to Listen: Supporting the Well-Being of Home-Based Child Care Providers
DESCRIPTION:This training will acquaint home-based child care providers with a new worker-focused mental health support through 4-C.  The Early Childhood Workforce Program is sensitive to the feelings of isolation that can be experienced by home-based child care providers.  It validates the unique physical and emotional challenges associated with their work and offers support in addressing those challenges.  This training will explore how the program provides a confidential space for home-based professionals to discuss personal and professional stressors\, allows time to reflect on their emotions\, and supports them in problem solving.  Training participants will learn how reflective consultation can help increase their coping capacity\, positively impact quality of child interactions\, and decrease professional burnout.  Open discussion will be encouraged.  There will be question/answer time offered during the training. \nTrainer: Maureen McMurrough\, Early Childhood Workforce Support Consultant \nAudience: Home-Based Child Care Providers \n1 Training Hour; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free
