This network is for recently assigned preschool administrators, or administrators wishing to revisit foundational aspects of preschool administration. Participants will dive into the foundational framework of preschool administration to include both early learning and special education federal, state, funding, and quality requirements. Evidence based practices taught will align completion of ETRs and IEPs to influence student achievement. This is a multi-session, 2-year cohort.
During the 2020-21 school year, participants will:
- identify their current location in the educational cascade, and how roles throughout the cascade differ
- learn tenants of state and federal mandated requirements and identify how each is represented in their program/school
- begin to establish skills to self reflect on their progress as an instructional coach and leader
- draft an internal monitoring plan to align proper implementation of timeline driven requirements through documentation and implementation
- draft an annual calendar of routine department requirements, responsibilities, best practices, and action
Please Note
- This Professional Learning Opportunity is by invitation only.
- Participants will be asked to complete pre-work to prepare for each session.
- Registration will be closed after the first session.
- Participants are expected to make a strong commitment to attending sessions, as content is cumulative.

Members include people at all levels of the profession–teachers, administrators, supervisors, parents, college personnel, state department officials and students. It is governed by an executive board made up of elected officers and regional representatives.

This three-part literacy series is for preschool teachers, paraprofessionals, supervisors, child care workers, kindergarten teachers, and others looking to build emergent literacy skills at the preschool level. The series was created based on current literacy research in conjunction with Ohio’s State Literacy Plan to provide practices to increase literacy for all students, birth through age five.
Series Dates
- Part 1: January 22, 2021 | 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
- Introduction to Emergent Literacy & Teaching Early Phonological Awareness
Participants will explore the three components of emergent literacy, with connections to research supporting their use, and learn the significance of, and instructional strategies for developing early phonological awareness in children from birth – age 5.
- Introduction to Emergent Literacy & Teaching Early Phonological Awareness
- Part 2: February 12, 2021 | 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
- Developing Oral Language and Vocabulary for Emergent Literacy
Learn the significance of developing oral language and vocabulary in young children, and how to build these skills in multiple environments – home, preschool, and child care centers through formal and informal instructional contexts.

- Developing Oral Language and Vocabulary for Emergent Literacy
- Part 3: March 5, 2021 | 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
- Building Print Awareness through Interactive Read-Alouds
Explore the significance of print awareness and how to use read-alouds as a tool for print referencing and building meta-linguistic awareness in young children. Modeling of questioning during interactive read-alouds will be used to demonstrate how to direct young children’s attention specifically to print. Participants will leave with a thorough understanding of how to use read-alouds to teach ALL components of emergent literacy using a variety of texts. Connections will also be made to developing early literacy skills along the language and literacy continuum.

These meetings are designed to inform preschool supervisors of early childhood updates, and disseminate new information in order to meet Federal IDEA requirements and indicators as they related to Preschool Special Education (i.e. Indicators 6, 7, and 12) and support the use of standards, curriculum, and assessments for all learners.
Opportunities to network and participate in topic-specific work groups will be provided. School Improvement will be the focus of the year, providing PD and resources around the 5-step Process, TBTs in preschool, and developing school improvement leaders at the preschool level.
Following this Professional Learning Opportunity, participants will:
- understand the foundation of federal and state requirements: special education, licensing, SUTQ, and school improvement
- review their current school improvement practices and align them to early childhood state initiatives
- identify the role their position plays in overall school improvement
Please Note
- This Professional Learning Opportunity is by invitation only.
