Content: Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)
continue to emerge as an effective model
for school improvement and higher student
achievement. In the initial Leading
Professional Learning Communities course,
participants developed skills for planning
and leading PLCs. While many buildings
and districts have implemented some level
of PLC work, there continues to be a lot of work to do. A focus on learning, building a collaborative culture, orienting around results, and sustaining leadership continue to be significant needs.
This advanced course will further refine participant understanding of these needs and their connection to the Six Characteristics of High Performing Schools. We will continue to refine action plans for implementing PLC concepts and using data and SMART goals to guide increases in student achievement.
Through PLCs, three essential questions are answered:
- What do students need to know and be able to do? (curriculum/instruction)
- How will we know they have learned it? (assessments)
- What strategies work for all students and what will we do for students who have difficulty learning? (interventions)
Snacks and/or lunches will be provided.
Registration fee:
- None, but pre-registration is required.
- Three CMU credits available, pending approval. Registration/payment packets will be available at the third session.
- Nine SB-CEUs available, pending
approval, at no charge. Please note: To receive SB-CEUs, state regulations require participants to sign in before each session begins and to sign out after each session ends.
Minimum number of participants for this series is 20. Registration numbers below 20 may result in cancellation of the series.

NEVER TOO YOUNG TO GET HOOKED! Dealing with the Media and Commercial Cultural in Very Young Children’s Lives

Audience: A Birth to Five Social Emotional Training Series for: Home Visitors, Social Workers, Head Start Staff, OB, Pediatric and Public Health Nurses, Infant Mental Health Specialists,
Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists and all others working with very young children and their families.
Content: Media and commercial culture are playing an increasing role in the lives of children at younger and younger ages, contributing to “problem solving deficit disorder” - difficulty getting actively involved in meaningful
ways in the real world, including engaging in creative play. Additionally, public health problems including childhood
obesity, eating disorders, precocious sexual behavior, and increasing levels of and tolerance for aggression can be
attributed to the current commercial culture. This workshop will explore the impact of media and commercial culture on children. It will then examine strategies for helping parents and professionals reclaim their children, counteract the harm and promote creative play. Finally, it will look at how we can work in the wider society to advocate for change.

Content: This training will focus on the Diversity Competence
Training Model- a theoretical framework that incorporates the
latest professional standards and best practices for building cultural
competence in the early childhood field. This model is based
on six psychological metaprincipals of human development: Connection
vs. Disconnection, Power vs. Diminishment, and Purpose
vs. Invisibility. Understanding the emotions, feelings and attitudes
associated with these psychological states serve as the basis for
developing competent and supportive relationships across diverse
populations.
Dr. Lewis will incorporate results of the Lewis Study of Diversity
Competence completed by participants at our October
2009 training.
