YOU ARE INVITED

Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning:

A New Professional Development Model in Maryland

When: Friday, September 28, 9:00 – 2:00 pm, lunch included

Where: The Conference Center at the Maritime Institute

692 Maritime Boulevard, Linthicum, MD 21090

Purpose: Provide an overview of the CSEFEL Model that

supports social/emotional development of young children, birth through five.

Maryland has been selected by the Center on the Social Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) to participate in intensive training and technical assistance that will foster the professional development of the early care and education workforce. This joint effort is sponsored by the Maryland State Department of Education and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The Teaching Pyramid Model for Supporting Social and Emotional Competence is a conceptual framework of evidence-based practices for children birth through five and their caregivers developed by two national, federally-funded research and training centers. The model is supported by extensive training materials, videos, and print resources.

CSEFEL will work with Maryland to accomplish 4 specific goals:

• Convene a collaborative workgroup to develop policies that sustain the model;

• Train trainers and coaches to build the capacity of the workforce and support local implementation;

• Identify 3 to 4 local programs to serve as demonstration sites; and

• Evaluate outcomes.

Mary Louise Hemmeter, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University and Primary Investigator of CSEFEL, is the lead trainer for Maryland and she will be providing an introduction to the Pyramid Model. Vanderbilt and Georgetown Universities will be the technical advisors to the project.

There is limited capacity for this introductory presentation so we need to hear from you by Friday, September 7, 2007. The fee for this training/presentation, is $20 per person, and includes a certificate of completion of training and a networking lunch.

Registration for this event is limited: registration will be on a first come first served basis.
