2015 Early Childhood Conference
February 20th & 21st
Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore!
As times change, so must our strategies for supporting our youngest learners. In this training, we will examine all the factors that are shaping the behavior of children in today's society and then discuss both prevention and intervention strategies for helping them find success both at home, in the child care setting, and at school.
Keynote speaker, Dan St. Romain, is a national speaker on the side, but in his day to day life he works to help adults shift their perspective on behavior by understanding the best ways to provide support given the challenges posed with today's learners.
Earlybird Registration: $35
$40 after February 9th
