Northeast NMAEYC screens the moving BULLY. Proceeds benefit early childhood teacher scholarships. When: Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013 Where: Santa Fe Community College, 6401 Richards Ave., Jemez Rooms by the bookstore. For more information call 505.204.1757. This year 13 million American children will be bullied. It's time to take a stand! The Northeast New Mexico Association for the Education of Young Children screens the feature film BULLY, a documentary about peer-to-peer bullying in schools across America and the grass-roots organizing community leaders, students, and families have undertaken to stop bullying. This is a professional development opportunity. Get three hours of contact training hours. After the film there will be a panel discussion with representatives from the Santa Fe Public Schools bully-prevention program, The Santa Fe School for the Arts, middle school students, and mental health professionals. BULLY documents the responses of teachers and administrators to aggressive behaviors that defy “kids will be kids” clichés, and it captures a growing movement among parents and youths to change how bullying is handled in schools. The film coincides with a campaign called The Bully Project (www.thebullyproject.com) that provides solutions that lead to systemic change. The screening is ne-NMAEYC's second annual fundraiser for scholarships for early childhood teachers in Northeast New Mexico. |

The first day will introduce the latest Early Learning Guidelines document with new introductory materials, graphics, and information about children’s growth and development from birth through the kindergarten year. The purpose, guiding principles, and potential uses for these guidelines will be shared and discussed in depth. Each participant will receive a copy of the most recent document. The afternoon session focuses on how to use the guidelines in assessing the growth and progress of children across time. The session will give participants information about authentic assessment, ways to observe with the guidelines as the criteria, possible reporting formats for family conferencing and portfolios, and ways to tie assessment information to curriculum planning. The second day will focus on the integration of curriculum and observational assessment for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners. The Early Learning Guidelines provide the developmental criteria by which educators plan curriculum and observe and document each child’s growth and progress. This on-going, cyclical process will be explored in depth, with opportunities for participants to practice by reviewing vignettes and video clips of children’s every day experiences and performance.

Hello, I would appreciate your sharing the information below with the listservs you oversee if you think the information would be helpful to your members. Jacqui
Hello NMAIMH Members and Others Interested in Infant Mental Health Endorsement,
Next Monday, Nov. 5, 2012 at 8 AM the NM Association for Infant Mental Health will offer the second monthly Endorsement Conference call. Last month we had 5 callers who each seemed to find the call as a helpful way to get their questions answered. NOTE that you will have turned your clocks back on the Sunday before the call b/c Daylight Savings Time ends on 11/4/12. On the first Monday of each month at 8 AM I will be available by conference call for endorsement applicants, advisors, and anyone who has questions about the IMH competencies and endorsement for Culturally Sensitive, Relationship-based Practice Promoting Infant Mental Health®. Please call in if you are wondering about endorsement, considering applying or have questions either about the competencies or the endorsement process. If no one has called in by 8:15 I will end the call and make myself available again by conference call on Monday, Dec.3 at 8:00. If the conference call time does not work for you or you prefer to speak with me individually, you can reach me at (505) 238-9085. I look forward to seeing if this is a helpful form of connecting with you and answering questions about endorsement!
