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. **Participants are encouraged to bring their personal laptops to practice as they are learning** \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:Social-Emotional Development & School Readiness: What We Know vs What We Do
DESCRIPTION:Learning in the first years of life has its foundation in social-emotional experiences. Social pressures encourage rushing these experiences for young children to be ready for school\, yet slowing down and practicing current skills is what leads to mastery and growth.  This training will support early childhood professionals in understanding young children’s capacity for relationships as the perfect context for all learning.  Participants will also recognize social-emotional development as the heart of school readiness and explore the connection between feeling and thinking that drives early learning. \nTrainer: Stephanie Bentley\, Joyful Insights Child Development Training & Consultation\, LLC \nAudience: All Providers \n2 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free
