The health and wellness of the VT-HEC Community is of utmost importance in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak. In light of this, we will be live streaming this event during the same day and times as the originally scheduled workshop. If you are unable to tune in to the live stream, it will also be recorded, and participants will have access to the recorded version following the workshop. You will receive the link to the live stream a few days before the event.
Early childhood educators and professionals across Vermont are increasingly educating themselves on trauma informed practices. How do we take our study of neurobiology, attachment and trauma informed practices from theories and models into daily practice in our childcare classrooms and educational settings? Bring yourself and your team to this WORKshop to do just that.
Participants will:
· Review neurobiology of trauma, resilience and healing in relationships;
· Review how understanding of attachment theory and use of co-regulation practices can positively affect behavior;
· Explore how to best integrate understanding of early childhood trauma-informed practices with evidence-based models and theories, including: MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support); ARC (Attachment, Regulation and Competency); and SFPF (Strengthening Families Protective Factors);
· Practice thinking thematically, i.e. use of developmental theory/tasks combined with creative multi-modal interventions to address symptoms and behaviors. These will include body, movement, music and play-based practices for classroom and home-based settings; and
· Engage in small group work to include: case studies, reflective practice and time for application of ideas to start using on Monday with children and parents/caregivers.
