2021 Early Years Conference has ended
The 18th Annual Early Years Conference focus is on understanding the approach to a Multi Tiered System of Support. Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a framework that promotes equity and access by engaging “ALL” through a tiered approach that uses differentiation of services and supports. “All means ALL”.

Using Technology to Stay Connected-Lessons Learned from a Pandemic

Feedback form is now closed.

When faced with social distancing guidelines that hinder our ability to physically be together, it is more important than ever to find ways to connect. The purpose of this training is to reflect on how educators can use technology to support all children and families through the integration of system changes that are sustainable in an effort to promote equitable access to high quality learning experiences and interactions. We will reflect on how we connected with staff, children, and families in response to the pandemic, and how we can use the information we learned to transition from an emergency response to best practice ensuring that all children and families' needs are being met. Throughout this training, participants will explore diverse stakeholders’ needs, discuss ways to support them through an MTSS lens, and develop an action plan to move from reactive to preemptive practices.
