Expanding Your Coaching Skills

Across VA, we've been learning about and practicing coaching since our statewide Coaching Initiative began in 2011. Many of you have attended training, and all of you have agreed to adopt coaching as our evidence-based practice for implementing early intervention. Now, the challenge is sustaining your coaching practices and continuing your learning. Check out these resources to help you continue to expand your coaching skills:

Kaleidoscope: New Perspectives in Service Coordination, Levels I and II are required professional development trainings for all new service coordinators (although all are invited!) Trainings are held twice per year in cadres (KI and KII occurring in same location, one month apart) so that service coordinators have the opportunity to learn with each other for both Kaleidoscope sessions. Spring Kaleidoscope sessions take place in the Valley region during March (KI)/April (KII). Fall Kaleidoscope sessions are scheduled in the Richmond region during September (KI)/ October (KII).
 
Check out the training calendar to locate information and training dates for the next KI and KII. 


 TALKS ON TUESDAYS

Talks on Tuesdays (ToTs) are one-hour webinars designed to provide free online training opportunities related to important topics in early intervention. Topics chosen for the Talks on Tuesdays webinar series are based on feedback from EI practitioners about what they need to know more about! ToTs are held on the first Tuesday of the month from 12:00-1:00PM.
