challenging behaviors program
Parents of children age 3 to 6 with challenging behaviors....FDLRS is offering a free 5-week training course on challenging behaviors based on the Center for Social Emotional Foundations for Early Learning. It will be taught by one of their PK specialists, Tiffany Fairchild, and will include opportunity for practice and coaching/feedback with specific strategies for managing & preventing challenging behaviors. The class will meet on Wednesdays at the Lee County Public Education Center from 5:30-8pm on April 28, May 5, May 12, May 19, and June 9. Contact Jennifer Smith at 337-8162 or jenniferasm@leeschools.net if you're interested. I am sure others who would benefit would not be turned away.
Show your teachers you care
Teacher Appreciation week is May 3-May 7, 2010!
PEAK Parent Center offers Colorado families a way to honor those who teach children with disabilities by providing free certificates of appreciation. Any parent of a child with a disability can nominate their child's teachers, paraprofessional, or principal. This complimentary color certificate is suitable for framing and will be emailed to parents to present to their nominees. Nominees will also be recognized on the PEAK Parent Center website! Don't miss out on this opportunity to let those who go "Above and Beyond" know that you appreciate their efforts!
Please contact PEAK Parent Center by email at spangallo@peakparent.org with the following information:
* Nominee's name (how you'd like it to appear on the certificate)
* Nominee's school

Thanks to all the great Colorado families and educators!
