Beyond Tip Sheets: Using Resources from Illinois Early Learning to Support EI Providers and Families

Many members of the Early Intervention (EI) community are familiar with the tip sheets produced by Illinois Early Learning (IEL). While these trusted, multilingual, one-page handouts on a variety of topics, will always be a staple, IEL has so much more to offer! Join us for a guided tour of the IEL website and its associated social media platforms. Learn about our other content, including podcasts, resources related to the Illinois Early Learning Guidelines for Children Birth to Age Three (IELG)s blogs, learning at home activities, Q&As, tool kits, and Project Approach resources. During the webinar, participants will learn to navigate the Illinois Early Learning website. Participants will leave with concrete ideas for incorporating Illinois Early Learning resources into interactions with families.
