Keynote Speaker

Other Featured Workshops
Addressing Challenging Behavior: Enabling Your Staff to Act, Jamie Ashton
Program leaders will learn strategies to build a team that works together. Explore ways to support staff when triggered by challenging behavior, reflect on the role of culture and staff’s expectations, and gain an understanding of the role of implicit bias in staff’s responses to challenging behavior.
Growing Up WILD (en espanol), Susie Manrique, Maria Salazar & Ariana Salazar
Growing Up WILD es un programa de educación para la primera infancia que se basa en el sentido asombroso de los niños por la naturaleza y los invita a explorar la vida silvestre y el mundo que los rodea. Los participantes participarán en actividades con materiales naturales que se pueden encontrar fácilmente en el exterior. Estas actividades se pueden llevar adentro para que los niños las exploren y experimenten. También veremos ideas de actividades que se pueden crear en el interior y aún permitir que los niños exploren el mundo natural.
