Tips and Tools for Early Childhood Special Educators October 15, 2018

A day in the life of an Early Childhood Special Educator (ECSE/EEE) is always busy! Each is chock-full of teaching, meetings and paperwork responsibilities. This becomes even more complex for those working in multiple settings and teams. Managing it all (and still finding time for lunch) can sometimes feel like a daunting task. This workshop will sharpen your skills and add to your toolbox as we walk through the special education process. It will offer organizational tools and strategies related to each step to maximize your time and energy. We will discuss the daily operations and responsibilities of being a preschool case manager/service provider and brainstorm cost-effective, time-smart approaches. Additionally, each day will include a “make and take” session for creating materials that you can start using your next day at work. During this workshop we will explore tips and tools related to: Lesson plans, data collection and evidence-informed programming decisions; Paraprofessional supports and consultation; and Transitions into early childhood special education, as well as kindergarten.
