When we do long periods together (any 4-hour days or multiple sessions totaling 10 hours or more), I like to give them access to materials in advance. When funding allows, our team will put together care packages to deliver (we work with childcare centers and homes) or mail out locally - copies of the handouts, some simple treats, tea bags, highlighters/pens, and a small fidget. It helps everyone to be prepared and build community as they share their goodies.

If you are going a long session, intentional breaks are still very appreciated - by participants and for yourself. Even if it is to just refill your water, take a few minutes for movement and a screen break.

closing the screen share to show everyone's cameras for group discussions. Helps bring us together and invite people to share. Also gives the eyes a break from looking at slide after slide

I stress this when I talk about how you "self-FLIP" when I review working with an Infant/Young Toddler or non-speaking child. This really resonates with participants about how they can use this strategy to support themselves as well as the children they are working with.

Allow them to share and make mistakes too. They are all learning opportunities!

It is so helpful to have multiple trainers- breaks up the sections and helps provide a natural communication rather than a lecture. Plus, one can watch the chat or set up a poll or breakout while the other presents

I show a picture of a behavior at the beginning and ask participants to share what they would say...then show the same picture at the end and ask them to FLIP the behavior. It shows how much they already do and how a simple FLIP shift can be super effective
