Tiny But Mighty: Growing Inclusive Transitional Kindergarten Classrooms Part 4: Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Positive Behavior Support
As California expands Universal Prekindergarten (UPK), educators have a unique opportunity to build Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classrooms where every child feels safe, supported, and included. This five-part, no-cost virtual learning series explores developmentally appropriate practices that strengthen Tier 1 instruction, promote belonging, and help educators recognize when young children may benefit from additional supports. Designed for elementary administrators, general education teachers, special education teachers, and related service providers, this series provides practical, evidence-based strategies for creating engaging, inclusive classrooms that reflect the developmental needs of four-year-old children. Through classroom videos, implementation tools, real-world examples, and practical resources, participants will leave with strategies they can implement immediately to create developmentally responsive learning environments that support the success of children with and without disabilities.
