St. Vrain Valley Schools will be hosting a training session for parents and families on February 4 from 4:30-6:00 p.m. at the Innovation Center, 33 Quail Rd, Longmont, CO 80501. This session is designed for parents, caregivers, and educators of young children and will focus on supporting behavioral development in early childhood.
This engaging and interactive discussion will explore the underlying causes of behavior and how social-emotional learning (SEL) can be woven into daily interactions to promote routines, smoother transitions, and positive responses to big emotions. Specific emphasis will be placed on practical, developmentally appropriate strategies that participants can use at home and in educational settings. Participants will leave with tools and a deeper understanding of how to support children’s social and emotional growth.
The session will also include dedicated time for parents and educators to reflect on practices that support personal well-being while engaging in the shared work of creating positive learning environments for children.The session will be led by Allison Roeser, MHS, PCC. She is an author, former educator, and leadership coach with over twenty years of experience specializing in social and emotional learning. Roeser holds a Master of Health Science degree from Johns Hopkins University and is a coauthor of Social-Emotional Learning Starts with Us: Empowering Teachers to Support Students and Nurturing Your Child’s Well-Being.
