SUMMARY:Rooted in Resilience: Growing Adult SEL (Social Emotional Learning) in Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:Early childhood educators play a critical role in shaping the social and emotional development of young children\, but to do so effectively\, they must first nurture their own well-being.

Through reflective activities\, discussion and practical strategies\, this training will support educators in strengthening their own emotional resilience\, building strong connections with children and families\, and fostering a culture of empathy and collaboration in their program. \nTrainer: Andrea Cossey\, 4-C Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n2 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Intermediate \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free

SUMMARY:Peaceful Resolutions: Conflict to Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Working in early childhood education requires strong teamwork\, but even the most committed educator’s can experience misunderstandings or tension with coworkers.

Participants will learn to express concerns without blame\, listen to try to understand differing perspectives and find solutions to meet the needs of everyone involved.
