A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

In my discussions with educators across the country, many often worry that the number of young children who struggle appears to be increasing. Working successfully with these children can be one of our greatest challenges and often generates questions including:

How can we simultaneously meet the needs of our young children who struggle while balancing the needs of all our other students?
What happens when our best intervention strategies only work for a short time or don't work at all?
How can we best tap into this golden window of opportunity that we have for early intervention?

I have designed this seminar to help you address these challenges to maximize learning for students in grades PreK-2. Prepare for an interactive day full of laughter and practical strategies, ideas, and solutions perfect for young children. Explore video examples from real classrooms, and songs, innovative learning activities, interventions, and much more! My goal is to provide you with an abundance of practical, developmentally appropriate tools and ways to powerfully match them to the unique needs of your students and setting.

An educator for over 30 years, I am excited to share strategies that I and the many teachers I've worked with have found to be most successful with young learners. Please join me for an exciting day filled with ideas you can use immediately! I look forward to meeting you at the seminar!

Sincerely,
Angela Searcy

P.S. Prepare for an interactive day! The emphasis will be on proven and practical ideas you can use immediately in your work with young children who are struggling.
