Early educators also recognize the importance of planning the environment and the role of family engagement. This knowledge enables early educators to plan effective and engaging learning experiences for all children.  \n\n\n\nIn this course\, the learner will practice using observations of children and knowledge of the Vermont Early Learning Standards to develop and implement a learning sequence with activities and experiences that integrate all learning domains and support relevant goals and objectives for children’s individual learning needs. Through required assignments and application in classroom settings\, the student will demonstrate their abilities to assess children’s learning\, evaluate curricula\, and plan a learning environment. Additionally\, they will learn to identify opportunities for engaging families to support their young children’s learning and development. In this course\, the student will review and analyze several pedagogical approaches for developing and implementing early childhood curriculum and apply this knowledge to enhance their own approach to planning and teaching. Additionally\, the student will learn how to plan a curriculum that integrates various disciplines\, including the visual arts and creative expression. Strategies for promoting young children’s social and emotional development and for including children of all abilities will be explored. \n\n\n\nAnother focus of this course is on becoming a professional and adhering to a code of professional ethics.   \n\n\n\nStart/End Dates: September 8\, 2025- December 11\, 2025 \n\n\n\nSynchronous Class Meetings: \n\n\n\n9/13/2025: 8:30-3:00 (in person) \n\n\n\n10/11/2025: 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM (online) \n\n\n\n11/1/2025: 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM (in person) \n\n\n\n12/6/2025: 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM (online) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor\n\n\n\nCathy Siggins

The course will assist educators to develop a deep understanding of how children develop and apply this knowledge not only in classroom assignments\, but more importantly\, in their work as early childhood educators.  \n\n\n\nWe will study child development by observing children\, examining research\, and considering various theoretical perspectives that have formed our interpretations of how and why children develop in both similar and unique ways. We will explore the cultural and familial contexts in which children develop and the factors that impact their development through readings\, discussions\, multimedia\, child observations\, and personal experiences. In addition\, students will develop a better understanding of research methods and refine their own observational skills.  \n\n\n\nIn this course\, students will conduct observations of children at different stages of development and analyze and interpret their observations by applying what they are learning in this course. Students will also do in-depth research into a topic in child development that interests them and teach others what they have discovered.  \n\n\n\nStart/End Dates: June 23 – August 17\, 2025 \n\n\n\nClass Meetings: \n\n\n\n6/28/2025: 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM (in person class) \n\n\n\n7/19/2025: 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM (online synchronous meeting) \n\n\n\n8/9/2025: 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM (in person class) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\nKate Boursiquot

SUMMARY:Unlocking Cognitive Potential: Getting the Brain Online for Learning
DESCRIPTION:Date:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor(s):  \n\n\n\nGillian Boudreau & Milton J. Dehn\, Ed.D \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type:  \n\n\n\nVirtual \n\n\n\n\n\nProfessional Learning Hours:  \n\n\n\n5 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopics: \n\n\nSpecial Education\n\n\n\n\nIntended Audience:  \n\n\n\nSchool psychologists\, educational evaluators\, special educators\, and special education administrators. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA typical school day is full of static that can drain students’ ability to think and learn. Not being sure where materials are\, having directions introduced in a confusing way\, or having too much presented at one time can cause stress that interferes with learning. In this webinar we will discuss how to free up your students’ emotional bandwidth and then help them channel it using specific\, effective learning and regulation tools. We will also explore how to use cognitive science and psychology to regulate and engage the brain\, structure dynamic lessons\, and create supports using a Universal Design for Learning perspective.  \n\n\n\nParticipants will:  \n\n\n\n\nRethink and rewire patterns in well-meaning classrooms that can prevent safety and whole-brain-capacity. \n\n\n\nDevelop teaching strategies to offer structure\, challenge\, and opportunity. \n\n\n\nIdentify working memory strategies that address cognitive load\, use visuals and chunking\, and scaffold.

Dehn\, Ed.D \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type:  \n\n\n\nVirtual \n\n\n\n\n\nProfessional Learning Hours:  \n\n\n\n5 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopics: \n\n\nSpecial Education\n\n\n\n\nIntended Audience:  \n\n\n\nSchool psychologists\, educational evaluators\, special educators\, and special education administrators. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants must attend both events:  \n\n\n\n\nOctober 10\, 2024\n\n\n\nOctober 24\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOctober 10 & 24\, 2024This series will equip participants to implement and maintain a tiered intervention system for social\, emotional\, and behavioral learning in classrooms where students face significant related barriers to learning. Participants will explore the tiers of intervention\, including assessment methods\, differentiation processes within each tier\, progress monitoring\, and support strategies. Additionally\, the series will offer effective collaboration techniques with staff members and parents\, providing practical tools to implement the multi-tiered system in your school building. \n\n\n\nParticipants will:  \n\n\n\n\nGain comprehensive knowledge of tiered SEL intervention systems\, enabling effective implementation tailored to diverse classroom needs.\n\n\n\nAcquire practical skills in assessing and addressing significant social\, emotional\, and behavioral difficulties within classrooms. \n\n\n\nDevelop personalized action plans to initiate and sustain a tiered SEL intervention system\, fostering a supportive environment conducive to student well-being and academic success. \n\n\n\nInterpret and utilize current\, reliable progress monitoring data to assess intervention effectiveness and inform decisions related to student progress. This will enable participants to better comply with Vermont’s new special education law changes\, which require evidence of response to functional skill interventions before determining eligibility.
