Phase One: CKC Social and Emotional Development Field Guide: Overview
This workshop looks at the newest of Ohio’s Core Knowledge Early Childhood documents, Guiding Young Children’s Behavior by Supporting Social and Emotional Development, the Field Guide. Participants will be introduced to the Field Guide’s content, discuss ways to support the social and emotional development of young children, be able to identify appropriate community resources and suggest activities for children to build skills.
Phase Two: Review of the ASQ:SE (Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional)
This workshop is an updated version of one presented in 2007. It describes the features of the ASQ:SE and the benefits of developmental screening. Participants will practice scoring the ASQ:SE, review the value of sensitive communication of the screening results and the process for referring children, as well as making suggestions for appropriate follow-up activities.
Phase Three: Climbing the Competency Ladder in Health and Nutrition
Early childhood professionals have a key opportunity and responsibility to work with families to provide environments and experiences that lead children toward lifelong health and well-being. This workshop examines Ohio’s Core Competencies in Health and Nutrition, and provides practical strategies to raise the level of competency among participants.
Ohio Ready to Learn workshops are FREE and made possible by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Service.
