FirstDay Learning – Virtual

To be supportive, teachers need support. This course provides teachers with physical, mental, and emotional self-care strategies, because at FirstDay Learning we know that a burned out teacher can’t help anyone at all. Participants will learn ways to collaborate with peers, and formulas for reaching out to administrators in positive ways. Strategies for building on strengths and new ways to ask for and receive support will be explored.

Understanding Behavior: ABC Easy as 123

The focus of this training is to guide teachers to better understand why behaviors happen in the classroom. It will examine the sequence of how behaviors occur, and then understand strategies to use within the classroom to shape behavior. Teachers will leave with antecedent strategies to take with them to use in their classroom to increase appropriate behavior and decrease challenging behaviors.

Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis although we reserve the right to limit the number of
participants from any one center. Teachers must register themselves using their own email address and personal
phone number. This information is needed for communications to confirm registration and to communicate any
changes to training logistics.

Virtual Training Requirements

Participants will receive an email with handouts and the link for Zoom three days prior to each training session. It
is recommended that you print all handouts prior to each session.

Participants must log in at least fifteen minutes prior to the start of the session to make sure audio, video and
internet connection works. Be sure to name your device by using your first and last name only. You may need to
download Zoom first if you have not used it before, so please make sure you give yourself enough time to
troubleshoot.

Participants must log in on their own device using a computer, laptop, or tablet.

To minimize disruptions, we ask that you mute your microphone when you are not speaking and/or
sharing.

To avoid any disruptions, participants will not be admitted into the training session 15 minutes after the
start time.

Attendance Policy

You will be asked to sign in at the beginning of the session and sign out at the end of the session via the chat function. If you are fifteen or more minutes late, do not sign in and sign out using your full name, you will not
receive credit.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend the training you must notify Julie Paley via email as soon as possible. Failure to cancel
at least three days prior to the session will mean you are blocked from future online training registration. To
register, you will be required to call or email Julie Paley directly.
