July 15, 2024Face to Face training: Double-check the LOCATION of the session before registering!
A growth mindset is the belief that your abilities, qualities, and intelligence can be developed, while a fixed mindset is the belief that your intelligence and qualities are unchangeable. This session will focus on the development of a growth mindset in teachers so they can help foster a growth mindset in young children. Doing this will help equip children with the resiliency skills needed to put in the effort and dedication required to overcome the many challenges they will face in school and in life.
Una mentalidad de crecimiento es la creencia de que tus habilidades, cualidades e inteligencia pueden desarrollarse, mientras que una mentalidad fija es la creencia de que tu inteligencia y cualidades son inmutables. Esta sesión se centrará en el desarrollo de una mentalidad de crecimiento en los maestros para que puedan ayudar a fomentar una mentalidad de crecimiento en los niños pequeños. Hacer esto ayudará a equipar a los niños con las habilidades de resiliencia necesarias para poner el esfuerzo y la dedicación necesarios para superar los muchos desafíos que enfrentarán en la escuela y en la vida.
This training is presented through a partnership between SPARK Learning Lab and Lakeshore®. A meal will be served, and all attendees will receive a materials kit to use with the children in your program!

ASQ-SE Questionnaire Training ASQ-SE Questionnaire Training
–
July 17, 2024There is tremendous opportunity during the first few years of a child’s life to identify and address potential social-emotional concerns. This is at the heart of ASQ®:SE-2. It is modeled after the acclaimed ASQ®-3 and is tailored to identify and exclusively screen social and emotional behaviors. ASQ:SE-2 is an easy-to-use tool with all the advantages of ASQ-3—it’s cost-effective, parent-completed, photocopiable, and culturally sensitive. With questionnaire results, professionals can quickly recognize young children at risk for social or emotional difficulties, identify behaviors of concern to caregivers, and identify any need for further assessment.
Participants will receive an ASQ®:SE-2 Starter Kit upon completion of this training! A SPARK Mental Health and Wellness Coach will also be available to support on-site with implementation.
PREREQUISITE REQUIRED: Using the CDC’s Learn the Signs. Act Early. Resources to Increase Family Engagement and Promote Developmental Monitoring and Screening
