May 3 Early Childhood ACBDE of Learner Needs Workshop

Create Classrooms Where Everyone Thrives

 

All behavior is communication. And when it comes to our youngest learners, behavior is often their primary form of communication.

So, what are our students trying to tell us when they won’t sit still, get in fights with one another, and don’t listen?

Inspired Teaching’s ABCDE of Learner Needs is an award-winning framework that gives early childhood educators the tools they need to translate students’ unwanted behavior into needs that aren’t being met and provides relevant strategies, tools, and resources for addressing those unmet needs, creating classrooms where everyone — students and teachers — can thrive.

Join Inspired Teaching for an engaging, fun, and free professional development workshop. You will learn how to use the ABCDE of Learner Needs in your classroom and come away with a renewed understanding of and appreciation for your students, your teaching, and yourself!

 

 

Saturday, May 3
10am – 12pm EST
MLK Library (901 G. St. NW), Room 401D
