Parent and Family Engagement Conference - New for 2012 - Jan. 30 & 31 - SOLD OUT
CHSA has redesigned and renamed our Parent Conference. Starting this year, it will be the Parent & Family Engagement Conference, to reflect our deeper focus on content for parent staff, as well as the traditional offerings for parent leaders. It will include the latest content on family engagement, as developed by the Office of Head Start.
Who should attend? Parents, parent involvement coordinators, Policy Council members, family service outreach workers and advocates will all find this event valuable.
Education Conference - Feb. 1-3
CHSA's Education conference advances the knowledge and skills of those involved in the education of children age zero to five. This year we have added a special strand for home visiting staff, offering a range of workshops dedicated exclusively to Home Visitors and their educational needs. This event imparts developmentally appropriate practices, teaches critical new skills, broadens awareness and disseminates valuable educational resources.
This year’s event will feature trainers from OHS’ National Center on Quality Teaching and Learning, as well as OHS’ California based trainers, West Ed, and many other experts from across the field.
Who should attend? Teachers, site managers, home based supervisors, child development and education managers, family and community partnership managers and program directors for both HS and EHS will find this event invaluable.
