Description:
The NAFCC’s Professional Development (PD)Department will host a Social Emotional Learning training entitled, “Caring Through Crisis”. This training supports family childcare educators with actionable social-emotional learning (SEL) strategies using our “Caring Through Crisis SEL Toolkit”. This toolkit supports infants and toddlers, two’s, preschoolers, and school-agers to support children and families navigating economic and natural disasters. The Caring Through Crisis SEL Training will promote Identity Safe Theory and the CASEL Framework for deep dive understanding of social emotional development for children. "Caring Through Crisis" provides tools for fostering resilience, emotional regulation, and a sense of belonging, ensuring that family childcare educators can confidently support children’s well-being during times of uncertainty.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify key principles of the Identity Safe Theory and demonstrate how to create nurturing, inclusive environments that validate children’s diverse identities. Understand and apply the CASEL Framework to implement SEL practices that support children’s emotional and social development in crisis situations.
- Learn and observe the functionality of the Caring Through Crisis Toolkit and how to utilize it in their learning spaces.
- Develop practical strategies for fostering resilience, emotional regulation, and positive relationships within family childcare settings.
