For more information or to register for this training, visit the CAHELP OMS Calendar: https://sbcss.k12oms.org/?gid=52 Early Childhood Special Education: Pre-K to Kinder Transition Planning and Assessment EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

This training is designed to address the legal requirements and recommended best practices of transition planning and reassessment prior to moving a student with special needs from preschool into a school-aged program. Successful and legally compliant transitions are a well-planned series of thoughtful actions that occur over a period of time rather than a specific event. This process includes intentional communication and meaningful collaboration with parents, families, current school staff, service providers, projected school staff, and often times outside agencies. Sample forms, timelines, and assessment reports will be provided and discussed. A robust question and answer period and plenty of time for discussion will be provided at the end of the training.

Intended Audience

Early childhood special educators (ECSE), early childhood school psychologists, speech pathologists, and other service providers.

For more information or to register for this training, visit the CAHELP OMS Calendar: https://sbcss.k12oms.org/?gid=52

Large Group Time instruction, sometimes called Circle-time, Carpet-time, or Morning Message is a traditional part of the daily routine in an early childhood classroom. It builds a sense of community where the whole class comes together for special announcements, movement and music activities, interactive storytelling, and other shared experiences. This course will explore the importance of Large Group Time and focus on concrete, developmental appropriate strategies and hands on activities to keep all students engaged. Participants will practice how to facilitate a child-centered Large Group Time where students are actively engaged allowing for many opportunities to make choices and take leadership roles with their peers. Strategies such as embedding the instruction of IEP goals, differentiating instruction, encouraging the active physical involvement of students, and creating opportunities for meaningful communication will be discussed.
