This two-day professional learning experience is designed to give Early Childhood Educators – who want a calmer, more connected classroom – the practical, hands-on strategies needed to build SEL-centered classrooms that truly work for all learners.
You will begin by grounding your practice in trauma-informed instruction, exploring how safety, relationships, and predictability drive skill-building and behavior regulation. As we explore these concepts, we’ll dive into how to design a classroom where evidence based practices—visual supports, environmental cues, reinforcement systems, and consistent routines—become the engine that support student independence, reduce challenging behaviors, increase engagement for your students, and make teaching feel more joyful and manageable for you.
Across the two days, you will:
- Strengthen your understanding of trauma-informed practices and why they matter for young learners.
- Learn how to set up a communication-rich classroom with whole-class supports and individualized tools.
- Explore practical ways to embed SEL and communication into instruction, centers, and transitions.
- Gain effective strategies for supporting students who need more structure or communication access needs.
- Walk away with ready-to-use visuals, templates, and systems you can implement now.
