** This cohort series is being offered in collaboration with STAR NET Region VI **
Join Becky and Katie for the 2024-2025 ECSE Teacher Cohort. Whether you are new to the field, a veteran teacher, new to early childhood special education, have previously attended our cohort series or not, we invite you to join us for this year’s series! This cohort series is an opportunity for discussion, collaboration, and brainstorming best practices in early childhood special education classrooms with colleagues from across the state. We will be using the DEC Recommended Practices to guide each meeting. By diving deeper into the Recommended Practices, our hope is you will gain knowledge as practitioners into their purpose and discuss effective ways to use them in order to improve outcomes for all students. Meetings will begin with resource sharing and reflection, include breakout sessions, and will conclude with large group discussion. Participants are encouraged to attend all sessions in order to build on your knowledge, connect prior learning, and share classroom practices across the school year.
An optional 30 minute discussion will follow each event for additional Q and A.
January: Interaction
February: Family
March: Teaming and Collaboration
April: Putting it all together
In order to be successful in your learning and teaching practice, we strongly encourage participants to register and attend all webinars in the cohort series. However, credit for attendance will be given for each webinar individually.
1. Review the Division for Early Childhood Recommended Practices.
2. Reflect on current practices in your early childhood and ECSE classrooms.
