Michigan AEYC Coaching Summit with GSRP Convening (Add-On)

Michigan AEYC’s Coaching Summit will take place this November 16th and 17th  in Lansing, Michigan, bringing together approximately 400-500 early childhood professionals who identify as coaches, mentors, or individuals growing into a coaching role.

This conference is designed for those who coach, mentor, guide, or support early childhood professionals across a variety of roles, including GSRP coaches, specialists, consultants, trainers, home visitors, lead teachers, administrators, early childhood leaders, and others with a coaching or mentoring focus. We hope to create a space where new, emerging, and experienced coaches can learn from one another, reflect on their work, strengthen their practice, and explore the many approaches within early childhood coaching.

Our 75-minute breakout sessions are designed to be practical, reflective, and deeply relevant to the real, day-to-day work of supporting early childhood professionals across Michigan. You will explore a variety of coaching approaches and leave with tools you can actually use.
