Early Learning Indiana's second-annual Professional Development Day speaker lineup and session topics are really going to elevate the conversation and collaborative learning. Make sure to keep an eye out for Tuesday Newsday as we roll out our speaker lineup.
First, we are honored to have Dr. Nefertiti Poyner (pictured above) kicking off the day with a motivational keynote on Building Your Bounce: Promoting Adult Resilience. Professional Development Day will be on Presidents Day (Feb. 20) at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Noblesville Conference Center. Transportation options will be available and more information will be shared by your school leader this month. We are excited to gather, learn and grow together.

TEAM RESOURCES
Help Keep ELI Safe from Cyber Attacks
Our annual Cyber Security training began on Wednesday, Jan. 11. Each team member must complete the required training to help ensure we remain alert and able to protect ourselves from the latest phishing and scamming tactics. You received an email from KnowBe4 <do-not-reply@training.knowbe4.com> asking you to sign in and complete your training by the date noted in the email. There are two training videos so make sure to complete both. If you did not receive the email or have trouble finding it, please contact Gadellnet.
Day Early Learning Safety Spotlight
Our Safety Spotlight topic this month is food safety. We want to share more important details about safe food practices in centers and beyond. Foods you should avoid include: Whole, raw and pitted fruits, snacks with seeds - like popcorn - tough pieces of meat and fish and raw or hard pieces of vegetables.
