Excerpt from the CA CSEFEL Project Fact Sheet

California is participating in a new early childhood professional development opportunity designed to support the social and emotional development of children birth through five. The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) has been funded by the Office of Head Start and the Child Care Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide training and technical assistance to selected states. The broad goal of the intensive training and technical assistance (T/TA) activities is to foster professional development of the early care and education workforce that:

1. enhances knowledge and skills;
2. supports the implementation and sustainability of evidence-based practices; and
3. increases the size of the workforce skilled in supporting the social emotional development of young children (birth – 5 years old).

CSEFEL has developed a conceptual framework of evidence-based practices for promoting young children’s social and emotional competence and for preventing and addressing challenging behavior.
