Igniting a Responsive Culture
Neuroscience has revealed the incredible power of a responsive environment on the development of young children. Responsive culture is also known to transform families, classrooms, and workplaces with self-esteem, healthy relationships, conflict resolution, and employee longevity. Join us as we examine together the components of responsiveness that are closely aligned with a biblical mindset, and discover innovations that bring children, families, and teams together.

Developing Core Connections
Connections are vital: within the human body, between humans, between God and man. Students today need help re-connecting their minds with their bodies, their emotions, and their caregivers. Parents and teachers need help re-connecting our minds with our bodies, our emotions, and with the children who are entrusted to us. Minds, hearts, and souls that are connected in the Lord are built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. How can you, as an educator, help children develop healthy brain connections? We can learn and improve our understanding of brain development, health, and wholeness. What current trends impact the concept of wholeness, and what does it take to foster community connection with the parents and children we serve?
The conference will allow you to earn up to 6 clock hours of CEUs. List of Breakout Sessions Coming Soon!
Lunch is included with registration. Please make your select during the registration process for either Chicken Caesar Wrap, Southwest Salad or no lunch needed.
Review the Schedule and Breakout Sessions!
Registration for each event includes lunch and earning of up to 6 clock hours / 1 CEUs.
