Description:
These sessions will focus on the most demanding domain of our profession as early childhood educators: guiding children’s behaviour. We will look at strategies and approaches that highlight positive prevention and intervention and reaffirm our role in helping children with their emotional, social and cognitive growth, in ways that foster self-esteem and self-concept in their early years, and going forward.

- Engagement with others, materials, and the world.
- Communication and literacies.
- Identities, social responsibility, and diversity.
Pathways:
- Safety and respect.
- Emotions, thoughts, and views.
- Every child is a gift.
- Time for Engagement.
- Multiple modes of communication.

Before you register:
- Westcoast offers interactive, live workshops as opposed to webinars or lectures. In an online environment this requires a reliable internet connection, an updated device and enabling the camera and microphone for the duration of each session. These are basic requirements to attend our workshops and to receive a certificate of participation so please consider this before you register.
- The workshop/course will take place via Zoom. A link for all sessions will be emailed to you a day before the workshop.
- Check your email settings and your spam folder.
- If you are new to Zoom watch the video How to Join a Zoom Meeting. You do not need to download Zoom to attend, but access may be quicker when logged in to Zoom. You can download Zoom for free.
- Join each session by clicking the link 15 min. before start time.
- Doors close 15 min. after start time.
- Workshops/courses are never recorded. If you miss a session, there is no way to make it up and you will not receive a certificate.
- A certificate will be emailed to participants who attend all sessions, after completion.
- Self reflection resources/materials will be emailed to participants at the end of the first session. This will count for 3.5 additional hours of independent learning on your certificate for a total of 14 hours.
