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 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
