Northern Region’s

Fall Quarter Oct, Nov & Dec 2011

The more things change the more they stay the same. That is the

case in many situations and is rightly so when looking at the changes that have occurred to the Career Ladder program now called the Professional Development System. We have heard many providers say in classes and out that, the endorsement classes now do not count for anything. How untrue this statement is. While providers will not be getting the $100 dollar endorsement award, the endorsements still move you up the Career Ladder portion of the Professional Development System and you will still receive an endorsement certificate for completing all four classes of a particular endorsement. Completing endorsements are great to increase your annual Professional Development Award amount, and are a great way to market your program to parents.

In this newsletter, you will find that we are teaching the second class of the Guidance and Emotional Wellness endorsement. This class has been rewritten and is a great way to let parents know you have an educational background to help their children in this area of emotional wellness. Another great class is the Theories and Best Practices endorsement. Have you ever wanted to know more about the developmental theorists and how you can put that knowledge into practice? This is a great class to participate in and gain that additional knowledge to help make your day go more smoothly. Look through our training and look at the many other endorsement classes we offer.

As parents seek quality in childcare they are looking for those providers who have increased their knowledge in child development and put that knowledge into practice. Attending training is a great way to increase your knowledge of appropriate ways to help children as they grow and develop.

We would also like to direct you to the new information pertaining to our registration policies. We will no longer be accepting walk in registrations. All registration for classes must be done through the mail. This is in an effort to give all programs an equal chance to get into the classes that they desire to have in order to increase their professional development.

Child Care Resource & Referral, Northern Region is a program of the Child & Family Studies Department at Weber State University. Funding for this program is made possible by a grant from the Department of Workforce Services, Office of Work & Family Life, Office of Child Care

DON’T BE NERVOUS! Our program consultant is not coming into your child care to evaluate or judge you. She is not coming to force you into making changes. She is simply someone who can help with the changes that YOU want to make. “The Consultation Program was fun and filled with innovative ideas. The resources provided were easy to follow and simple to implement. The consultant was another set of eyes that helped me see what children wanted and needed in order to really improve my child care program!” -Camelia Garcia, Protégé “I would encourage any family child care provider to take part in the Consultation Program! I was provided with the reassurance and support that I needed in order to feel comfortable applying the topics that I have been learning in my career ladder courses. I felt encouraged to organize my environment and make my child care a better place for children!” - Amy MacDonald, Protégé If you are one of those providers who is always striving to improve the quality of their child care, this wonderful program is for you! If you are interested, please fill out an application on our website at http://programs.weber.edu/ccrr/mentor.htm or contact our Program Consultant, Rachel Kap at 801-626-7815 or email at rachelkap@weber.edu. I hope to hear from you soon!

In this newsletter you will see that we are offering our very popular What do You do With the Mad That you Feel class. In addition to the activities, you will learn about in the class, here are a few additional activities that providers can do to help children deal with anger. Guiding Children's Expressions of Anger Teachers can help children deal with anger by guiding their understanding and management of this emotion. The practices described here can help children understand and manage angry feelings in a direct and nonaggressive way.

Create a Safe Emotional Climate A healthy early childhood setting permits children to acknowledge all feelings, pleasant and unpleasant, and does not shame anger. Healthy classroom systems have clear, firm, an d flexible boundaries.

Model Responsible Anger Management Children have an impaired ability to understand emotion when adults show a lot of

anger (Denham, Zoller, & Couchoud, 1994). Adults who are most effective in helping children manage anger model responsible management by acknowledging, accepting, and taking responsibility for their own angry feelings and by expressing anger in direct and nonaggressive ways.

Help Children Develop Self-Regulatory Skills Teachers of infants and toddlers do a lot of self-regulation "work," realizing that the children in their care have a very limited ability to regulate their own emotions. As children get older, adults can gradually transfer control of the self to children, so that they can develop self-regulatory skills.

Encourage Children to Label Feelings of Anger Teachers and parents can help young children produce a label for their anger by teaching them that they are having a feeling and that they can use a word to describe their angry feeling. A permanent record (a book or chart) can be made of lists of labels for anger (e.g., mad, irritated, annoyed), and the class can refer to it when discussing angry feelings.

Encourage Children to Talk About Anger-Arousing Interactions Presch ool children better understand anger and other emotions when adults explain emotions (Denham, Zoller, &Couchoud, 1994). When children are engaged in an anger-arousing interaction, teachers can help by listening without judging, evaluating, or ordering them to feel differently.

Use Books and Stories About Anger to Help Children Understand and Manager Anger

Well-presented stories about anger and other emotions validate children's feelings and give information about anger (Jalongo, 1986; Marion, 1995). It is

important to preview all books about anger because some stories teach irresponsible anger management.

Statewide Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) Training Participant Code of Conduct

Effective Date: July 1, 2007 Revised: July 1, 2010

Punctuality / Attendance: I understand that I must be in class at or before the time scheduled for class to

begin in order to obtain credit for the class. If I arrive after the time that class is scheduled to begin, I can use the time that I was actually in attendance for licensing credit, but I will have to repeat the full 2 ½ hour session to get Career Ladder credit for the course. Class will begin when the trainer determines that it is time to start. I understand that if I am not present during the entire class period, that I will not receive Career Ladder credit for the session, and will have to repeat the full 2 ½ hour session in order to receive credit for the course.

Disruptive Behavior: I will be respectful to the trainer and to all others in attendance during each class session. I will not use obscene, profane, threatening, discriminatory, harassing or abusive language. I will not engage in any conversation or behavior that is disruptive or disrespectful to the trainer or other participants in the class. I will attentively participate in class. I will not text message or make cell phone calls during class time. I understand that I am required to turn my cell phone and/or other electronic devices off or turn ,them to vibrate during class time. I will limit all cell phone calls to break time or after class time. I will not engage in disruptive private conversations during class time. If I must bring food or drink to class, I will eat quietly and will not allow food or drink to become disruptive or distracting to the trainer or other class participants.

Illegal Activity / Health & Safety: I understand that any illegal activity, including behavior that threatens the health or safety of the trainer or another class participant before, during or after class will be cause for my immediate expulsion from class and permanent suspension from participation in the Career Ladder and the Training and Longevity Supplement, and that such behavior may be reported to law enforcement. Providers may be asked to leave a training if their condition prevents them from participating or is disruptive to the class environment"

Children: I understand that adult training classes are not a developmentally appropriate environment for children of any age. I will not bring children to class.

Class Roll: I understand that in order to receive credit for each class session, that I must sign the roll before class begins. I understand that failure to do so will result in my not receiving credit for the class session. I understand that I may not sign the roll for someone else.

Refunds: I understand that class registration fees are non-refundable. I understand that if I notify the CCR&R a minimum of three days in advance that I am unable to attend a course for which I am registered, that my registration fee may be able to be credited toward another class. I understand that it is my responsibility to contact the CCR&R to make these arrangements.

Non-Compliance: I understand that, in cases of infractions of a minor severity (behavior that has been determined to be disruptive but not illegal), that I will be allowed one issued verbal warning upon the first violation of the above listed rules. I understand that upon the second such infraction, I will be suspended from participation in the Career Ladder and Training and Longevity Supplement for one year from that infraction date. I understand that upon the third such infraction I will be permanently barred from participation in the Career Ladder and Training and Longevity Supplement. I understand that upon the first incident of any violation in which I engage in illegal activity (including threatening or intimidating behavior), that I will be permanently banned from participation in the Career Ladder and Training and Longevity Supplement, and that such action may be cause for intervention by law enforcement and/or other legal action.

We require that you pre-register for our classes for a couple of reasons: 1- Due to the amount of materials we distribute in class, we need to have an accurate count of how many providers will be attending each one and enough time to prepare them. 2- Weber State University has set strict guidelines for us to follow when handling money. They will not allow any money to remain in the office unsecured, overnight. We also do not want to put your information at risk by having it sit on a desk overnight. It is for your privacy and safety that we request you send in your money. Registration forms must be sent through the mail. Money can not be accepted at the training. Each registration form will let you know where to send it. Please check the training schedule page on our website (weber.edu/ccrr) to see if a class is full or has been rescheduled or cancelled. All training participants must review and sign the Statewide CCR&R Training Participant Code of Conduct each time you register. If there is no signature, your registration form will be sent back for you to sign. We will not be able to hold your spot in any class and you may miss out on the class that you want to register for. We are not able to register any one for a class without the signed copy of the Code of Conduct. The registration form has the information we need for the Utah State Training Registry and must be filled out in full. An incomplete registration form will delay your registration and you may miss the class you are trying to register if it fills before we can collect the information we need. If you have any questions about the information we collect, you can contact our office at 801-626-7784. If you are sending registrations for more than one person, you must include a registration form for each person and each person must sign the Training Participant Code of Conduct. The form has the information we need for the Utah State Training Registry, without it we cannot register you for any of our classes. Also, each person must sign a copy of the Utah State CCR&R Training Participant Code of Conduct. Without that signature, no one will be able to attend classes. Registration for each class will close 7 days prior to the start of class. No registrations will be accepted within a week of the class' start date. This will give us time to prepare the right amount of materials. We register for classes one quarter at a time. You may register only for the classes listed in our current newsletter. Each quarter's class schedule and registration form can be found in our quarterly newsletter, the Child Care Connector. The newsletter is published every September, December, March and June. The schedule and registration form will also be posted on our website shortly after it has been sent in the mail. Sorry, we are not able to issue a refund. If we receive money from you for a class that is already full, we can give you the option of sending the check back to you or sending you a credit voucher. When a class is full, it will be posted on the training schedule page on our website at weber.edu/ccrr. You can always call our office at 801-626-7837 to check if the class is full before sending in the registration form or check our online schedule. If you are unable to attend a class and you call at least three days before the first session starts, we can send you a credit voucher. Sorry, we are not able to refund money. Please be sure to call during office hours 8am-4:00pm. You can reach us either at 801-626-7837, 801-626-7784, or toll free at 1-888-970-0101. We cannot issue a credit voucher if you fail to notify us before the first session of a class. Each 10 hour class is broken down into four sessions. If you miss one or two session(s) in a class, no money can be refunded. However, you can make it up when that session is taught again, without repaying. You also have the option of making-up the session you missed with another CCR&R agency without having to pay again. We have an agreement with our sister agencies that allows you to make up one or two sessions with them. Just contact them for their times and registration policies. To register for a make-up session with us, simply fill out the registration form and circle the dates you need to make up, write "make-up" in the amount enclosed section and send it in. Be sure to include the signed Code of Conduct with the form. We have a limited number of make-up slots available for each night so please let us know if you are registered for a make-up session and are unable to attend.

We need to have a minimum number of providers enrolled to conduct the class. Classes, which don't meet these minimum numbers five days before the class, will be either cancelled or rescheduled. We will notify you and send you a credit voucher for another class. Classes may be canceled due to weather. We follow Weber State University's policies regarding this issue. If the campus is closed, our classes will be canceled. If not, classes will be held. You can call Weber State at 801-626-6000 to find out if the campus has been closed. We will also leave a message on our main phone line 801-626-7837. All classes canceled due to weather will be rescheduled. Certificates are given to participants on the last day of class. If you are making up a session, let the trainer know, they can get the certificate to you sooner. If you do not receive a certificate within two weeks of the final session, contact our office at 801-626-7784. There will be a $5 charge for a replacement certificate.
