EC-SWIS Facilitator Add-On Endorsement

EC-SWIS is the newest addition to the SWIS suite of applications. It is a web-based decision system that monitors social climate and child behavior by tracking behavior incidents within the early childhood context. Not only does EC-SWIS support decision-making through easy access to comprehensive graphs but also provides a structure to improve the consistency and accuracy of staff reporting of behavioral incidents.

This 2.5 hour webinar prepares currently certified SWIS Facilitators to support local early childhood programs and sites implementing the EC-SWIS application. Participants will learn how to:

• use the EC-SWIS application,
• teach others to use EC-SWIS,
• work with early childhood education programs to prepare for EC-SWIS compatibility, and
• work with teams/coaches to apply a data-based, decision-making model in early childhood settings.

Please note that this application and training are separate from SWIS, CICO-SWIS and I-SWIS Facilitator Training.

Note: Special considerations regarding distance learning models will be included. 

Participants must be certified SWIS Facilitators to register for this training.  

Upon completion, SWIS facilitators will be able to:

• Successfully navigate the EC-SWIS application and support program-level users in account set-up, data entry, and reporting
• Describe their role in monitoring program/site readiness, user training, team coaching, technical assistance, and ongoing maintenance associated with supporting EC-SWIS implementation
• Embed their role and responsibilities for EC-SWIS facilitation into job description and time allocation
• Support 2-5 programs/sites in meeting and maintaining EC-SWIS readiness requirements and implementation
