A FB live broadcast from 9-16-17 by Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, which includes four tips for writing meaningful IEPs for young children and four tips for promoting inclusive practices. Answers regarding an online course are also embedded. Learn more about the course at https://kristiepf.com/join-iep-online-course.

We've all likely seen it right? The image from Lippitt or Knoster about how if we're missing a particular ingredient (e.g., vision), we'll struggle getting to a change in practice. But what impact does an aging brain and a lack of emotional intelligence have on the formula?

Well, if you thought managing change was complex before, in this video, I share a new twist on change that builds upon what we've learned about our brains and our emotional intelligence skills!

I also provide three solutions to getting to a change in practice. Learn more at https://kristiepf.com/complex-change

Increasingly, we’ve come to understand the important role emotional intelligence plays across contexts, disciplines, and the lifespan. The need for a high or strong #EQ is particularly relevant for #ECE leaders.

Do you know how high your #EQ is? Download my free #EQ self-assessment for #ECE leaders at https://kristiepf.com/whats-your-eq/.

For those who are aware of their #EQ, you may now be wondering how to raise your it by a point or two. I now from my results, I need to follow some of my own advice!

In this FB live broadcast, I share five tips for raising your #EQ and how you can use the assessment to:

• engage in deeper self-reflection
• get to a change in practice
• kick off courageous conversations
• deliver effective professional development

Broad Topic: Surviving and Thriving During IEP Season

1) Shared a set of questions for self-reflection, for team use, and for program/agency use...all which are designed to raise your EQ and ensure meaningful IEPs. Source: The Courage Way https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

2) Talked about the difference between the following terms and when they are more about the "how" than the "what". In other words, why they aren't your "go to" for IEP goals, but rather, for measuring performance and delivering specially designed instruction. • task analysis • levels of independence • response prompting procedures Source: Blended Practices 2nd edition https://www.goodreads.com/…/30243521-...
