SUMMARY:An Introduction to the Environment Rating Scales
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to The Environment Rating Scales (ERS) \nThis training is for center-based programs and family child care providers and offers an overview of the Environment Rating Scales.  The Environment Rating Scales are user-friendly assessment tools that measure the quality of the learning environment for infants through school-age children.  After completing this training\, participants will be able to use the tool(s) for program self-assessment and improvement planning. \nExceleRate Required Attendees: All Circles of Quality: Administrator\, plus 1 teacher per classroom \nMaximum Attendance: 25 (prioritization will be determined in consultation with Quality Specialist) \n\nWe ask that currently you prioritize meeting the “50% of staff criteria” (stated above) rather than enrolling all staff (for example\, maybe beginning with all Lead Teachers). We will exercise the right to limit the number of staff at any one training from one center or home. This practice will allow more providers to meet the requirement.  We will offer this training regularly\, rotating locations\, so provider needs will be met.\n\nLevel of Learning: Intermediate \nTrainer: Barb Christmas\, 4-C Quality Specialist \nAudience: All Providers \nFee: $20 non-refundable and non-transferrable fee required to attend

SUMMARY:**RESCHEDULED** The Importance of Block Play
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever heard someone say\, “All they ever want to do is play in the block center!” Well\, I have some news for you about the block center that might just surprise you. Instead of trying to figure out how to get children out of the block center\, let’s discuss how different types of learning takes play through block play and why it is so important.  Overlapping learning for developmental domains is easy when you have a well-developed block area.  Block play provides children with three-dimensional creativity and problem-solving development.  We will jump into teaching strategies and have you prepared for hours of extended play in the block center. \nTrainer: Jodi York\, Instructor for AB Tech Community College \nAudience: All Providers \n1.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \n4-C Members: Free \nNon 4-C Members: $10
