Starting new this fall we will be following the new recommendations for
ages when doing the ITERS-R. Even though we will not be using
the ECERS-3 in classrooms until 2016 in order to prepare the community
for the ECERS-3, there is a change of age for when to use both the
ECERS-3 and the ITERS-R. 75% of the children need to be 3 years old or
older for the use of the ECERS-3 (3 to 5 year olds). ITERS-R will be used
for children 3 and under, so this means that if the “preschool” classroom
has 16 children in it and 5 of them are under 3 years of age this classroom will have an ITERS-R done on it due to the ages of the children.

Part 1- Adult Skills Training - October 24, 2015
RIRO training gives professionals skills and theory to support a relationship-based reflective practice and provides a framework for creating a
"culture of resilience" in programs serving young children. RIRO teaches
"3Rs of Resilience"– skills to help Relax, Reflect and Respond effectively to life's challenges. The Adult Skills Training helps adults build
their own foundation of the critical resiliency abilities described above.
Participants learn resiliency skills they can model with children and families. Specifically, they learn to: identify and strengthen critical abilities
associated with resilience, use strategies to stay calm and focused in
stressful times, identify how their thoughts can affect their ability to cope
with stress and challenges, challenge thinking habits that hinder resilience and generate alternative ways to handle conflict, problems and
stress.
Part 2- Child Skills Training –November 7, 2015
Designed to reach young children from birth to seven years, RIRO works
by laying a strong foundation of thinking and coping skills that support
resilience in the adults who care for and work with them. In the Child
Skills Training, participants learn to apply the skills with children. They
learn to model the skills and foster resilience in the children around
them, use their own resiliency skills to increase their understanding of
children's behaviour and incorporate resiliency skills into their work setting by using child-friendly approaches such as children's literature, puppets, and play-based activities. Please note: RIRO Adult Skills Training is
a prerequisite .

When things are said, feelings are hurt and healing isn’t optional, supervisors and managers must take on the pivotal role of mending fences
and building bridges. But where to start? And what questions must be
asked and answered before, during and after an issue or incident. Rebuilding trust and working through anger means being skilled and patient, firm and understanding and above all…caring enough to let

Program!

The pursuit of excellence suggests that it is never truly captured but
that when you arrive there you discover the desire and often need to
raise the bar again. Great leaders know to get a lot you need to be bold

diligence, commitment and discipline. Discover how you can see your
program and centre be a real leader and one in which you and your
team can be proud.
Look for the stream that is right for you!
