Inclusion for ALL: Practical Strategies for ECSE Teachers
The ECSE strand is designed for in-service educators working with young children, ages 3-5 years, who have disabilities or delays, or who are teaching in inclusive early childhood education learning programs. The PEAYC (Preparing Educators of All Young Children) Council will support, through grant funds, thirty (30) qualified teachers to participate in the full week of the Academy. The theme for the early childhood special education strand will be, "Inclusion for ALL: Practical Strategies for ECSE Teachers." Educators will learn practical, hands on strategies to include ALL children in the early childhood classroom. Topics for successful inclusion during classroom activities, related services and transition will be explored. Teachers will also learn consultation and coaching techniques to support inclusion and to enhance teaching skills. Please join us!
Thanks to grant support, all fees (excluding graduate credit fee) are waived for participants of the Pre-K Early Childhood Special Education Academy!
