Early childhood instructors at community colleges know better than anyone how tremendously the knowledge base and learning styles of their students can vary. Issues of culture (e.g., language, working individually vs working collectively), general education requirements, and benchmark exams (e.g., PRAXIS) may also require additional planning and differentiation of instruction. This webinar will share examples of evidence-based practices for supporting each and every student or learner, including practices that support English Language Learners and students with disabilities through the framework of Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

National guidance from multiple sources, including Transforming the Workforce and professional organizations, is consistent in the emphasis on the importance of early childhood educators being well prepared to recognize and address the impact of trauma in themselves, young children, and families. Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACEs is one of the most widely used terms when discussing the traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-17 years) such as experiencing violence, abuse, or neglect. This webinar will unpack what’s important to know about ACEs and share examples of how to integrate opportunities for students to learn and practice this content across different course offerings and field experiences. Registration is now closed for the follow up webinar on February 17, 2022.

This tool from the Ounce of Prevention Fund (the Ounce) and the U.S. Department of Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has been specifically designed for child care, Head Start and Early Head Start, and public pre-k programs as a guide for welcoming and supporting families and children experiencing homelessness into these programs. Early care and education providers play a critical role in identifying and supporting families with young children who are experiencing homelessness and connecting those families to other resources within their community. Being exposed to a safe, stable, and developmentally appropriate environment while young is important to healthy child development. The tool contains recommendations for making early childhood programs more responsive to the unique needs of infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their families who experience homelessness in five areas and identifies additional resources to support programs.About

One theme that has emerged in clinical care and research with children exposed to alcohol and drugs during pregnancy is related to deficits in sensory integration. For most children, sensory integration develops in the course of ordinary childhood activities. However, prenatal alcohol or drug exposure or lack of stimulation in the early years of development can damage the parts of the brain responsible for sensory integration. This blog highlights the signs that children are experiencing difficulty with sensory integration that may merit attention from an occupational therapist or other professionals.About
