SUMMARY:School Readiness Series - Approaches to Learning
DESCRIPTION:Cognitive and higher order thinking refers to a child’s ability to solve problems\, approach learning and learn about how things affect each other. Children approach learning differently based upon temperament\, prior experiences and relationships. During the two hour session\, participants will discuss what the three types of temperament are and how temperament impacts a child’s approach to learning. All participants are expected to read an article in advance of the session related to temperament and complete a brief assessment. This required pre-work will provide participants with one hour of additional credit. Through discussions and videos\, participants will learn how to create meaningful play-based experiences that foster many different approaches to learning. Lastly\, the session will provide access to current research which emphasizes the significance that relationships play with regard to a child’s development. By the end of the session participants will be able to identify components of cognitive development\, plan experiences that foster higher order thinking and engage in powerful interactions which foster a love for learning! \nThis workshop is free thanks to the generous sponsorship by the Jefferson County Community Early Childhood Council through a grant from the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood. \nNotice: This is an online class.  Please make sure you include a valid email address when registering and that you have internet and email access at the time of the training. This training will be conducted via Zoom\, and you will be required to participate via video and audio through a computer\, phone\, or tablet. All classes are on Eastern Standard Time. \nLevel 3   CDA 1\, 2  CC 1\, 4   Audience-Infant/Toddler\, Preschool \n3 Credit Hours (with completed pre-work)

SUMMARY:Understanding the Role Temperament Plays in Development and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever felt like you were mismatched with a child in your care? Do you ever wonder why some children are so highly active and others are not? Would you like to learn about how to manage these differences? Join us to learn how to support each dimension of temperament – even in mismatched situations. Temperament is not about perfect matches; it is about understanding and nurturing “goodness of fit”. Each participant will be asked to complete a reflection exercise related to a challenging child and their temperament in advance of the session. By the end of the session\, educators will have an understanding of temperament\, the role it plays in learning and development\, as well as practices that can be used daily to foster “goodness of fit”. \nNotice: To receive full credit for this class\, a pre-work assignment must be completed. It will be emailed prior to the class. This is an online class.  Please make sure you include a valid email address when registering and that you have internet and email access at the time of the training. This training will be conducted via Zoom\, and you will be required to participate via video and audio through a computer\, phone\, or tablet. \nLevel 3  CDA 3 CC 1   Audience-All \n2 Credit Hours

SUMMARY:Supporting STARS Series: Incorporating Benchmarks and Standards into Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:This training will enable early care and education professionals to become more knowledgeable in providing the experiences to help children reach their full potential. Kentucky envisions learning as a continuum\, beginning at birth and continuing throughout life. One way that Kentucky has done this is by developing a shared set of expectations for young children\, drawn from current research\, to provide the foundation for competencies critical to ensuring later academic success known as benchmarks and standards. This session will go in depth about how to use benchmarks and standards into the lesson plan. Understanding benchmarks and standards will support ECE professionals when thinking about offering play experiences for children. \nThis workshop is free thanks to the generous sponsorship by the Jefferson County Community Early Childhood Council through a grant from the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood. \nNotice: This is an online class.  Please make sure you include a valid email address when registering and that you have internet and email access at the time of the training. This training will be conducted via Zoom\, and you will be required to participate via video and audio through a computer\, phone\, or tablet. \nLevel 2   CDA 2\, 8  CC 4   Audience-All \n2 Credit Hours

SUMMARY:Strengthening Families: Nurture and Attachment
DESCRIPTION:This training will provide ECE educators with knowledge about the importance of nurture and attachment from the Kentucky Strengthening Families model. Research shows that babies who receive affection and nurturing from their parents have the best chance of developing into children\, teens and adults who are happy\, healthy and possess individual-level protective factors\, such as relational\, self-regulation and problem solving skills. When the parent-child relationship is strong\, a family will thrive under any condition and  abuse would be less likely to occur. As ECE providers are in contact with parents on a regular basis\, it is important to recognize\, model and support positive interactions for optimal outcomes for the families that are in our community. \nThis workshop is free thanks to the generous sponsorship by the Kosair Charities Face It Movement. \nNotice: This is an online class.  Please make sure you include a valid email address when registering and that you have internet and email access at the time of the training.

SUMMARY:School Readiness Series - Promoting health and well-being! Healthy children lead to school ready children!
DESCRIPTION:Let’s talk about how healthy eating habits\, regular exercise\, sleeping well and stress management lead to greater school readiness.

SUMMARY:Why is Center Time so Important?
DESCRIPTION:Center time is such a vital part of the day where children are concerned – how they are set up\, the amount of time spent in them\, and the number of children allowed inside them. Something to think about: Do you have time limits\, or limits to the number of children you allow in the centers? How do you end a child’s play in a center when it’s time to transition to a new activity? Do you use bells or timers? Do you have them leave for another center before they are finished? Or do you allow them the time they need to complete what they are working on. This is such a big part of a child’s work and needs to be given full attention too. It also frees you up to do those most important observations that you need to make time to do. Please bring your favorite table activity to the table as there will be time to play. \nNotice: This is an online class.  Please make sure you include a valid email address when registering and that you have internet and email access at the time of the training.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Families - Knowledge of Child Development
DESCRIPTION:Accurate information about child development and appropriate expectations for children’s behavior at every age help parents see their children and youth in a positive light and promote their healthy development. Information can come from many sources\, including family members as well as parent education classes and surfing the internet. Studies show information is most effective when it comes at the precise time parents need it to understand their own children. Parents who experienced harsh discipline or other negative childhood experiences may need extra help to change the parenting patterns they learned as children. Please join us to learn more about how you as an early childhood professional can support families for optimal outcomes for their family and community. \nThis workshop is free thanks to the generous sponsorship by the Kosair Charities Face It Movement. \nNotice: This is an online class.  Please make sure you include a valid email address when registering and that you have internet and email access at the time of the training.
