We are excit
ed to add Elvia Cortes to the first day of the VW Leadersh
ip Event. Mary Claire and Elvia are working together to bring you an outsta
nding experience highlighting reflective practice! Elvia will be presenting
on Friday, October 7th and Mary Claire on Saturday, October 8th.
Please join us as we highlight the importance of nurturin
g relationships for those of us in early intervention. We will look at ways
to open space for all of us to reflect upon our practices with families an
d their young children. In this two half-day training format, participants
will practice how to use reflective supervision in their current setting an
d then apply diversity-informed reflective practice in supporting caregiver
s of young children.
We will think about the role of race, cultu
re, and diversity of all kinds and how it impacts our work. Reflective prac
tice allows for critical self-reflection, perspective taking and interactio
ns which support self awareness and ways to move forward with important con
versations that hold critical differences in mind.
