Need Early Childhood Education Training You Can Do On Your Own Time?

Get training on just the topics you need to brush up on. Priced between $20 and $25 dollars and every one includes a certificate.

Learn the whys and hows of teaching STEM to tiny little humans. We will explore how to provide developmentally appropriate STEM experiences in your classroom and how to make time in your already packed schedule. Purchase replay access here.

A peaceful preschool classroom IS possible, but it’s not necessarily quiet. This session is about creating a classroom that supports learning through a lens of relatedness. We will explore how connection is the key to making your class peaceful and how to respond when it’s not. Purchase replay access here.

Building on the general strategies learned in Peaceful Classrooms, we are zooming in on circle time. We will talk more about responding to challenging behavior, but also dive into routines that work, content ideas, and strategies to make group time a time to build community instead of conflict. Purchase replay access here.

In this session, you will learn what we, as early childhood educators, get right when we teach math and what, according to research, we need to work on. Then you will learn how to do more of what we need to in playful ways. You will leave with a toolbox filled with math ideas and activities. Purchase replay access here.

Learn the right ways to make early literacy instruction fun and effective. We will be tackling what our students are expected to know and how to help them get there in the way they learn best: playfully. We will discuss differentiation strategies and how to use different times of your day for targeted and playful early literacy instruction. Purchase replay access here.

In this session, you will learn more about typical early childhood milestones and why it is important for all working with young children to have a basic understanding of this topic. We will examine typical infant, toddler, and preschool-age milestones and find practical everyday activities and strategies to support their development. This is a great workshop for anyone who works with a wide variety of young children and needs simple ways to make the most of their interactions with them. Purchase replay here.

Preschoolers love games! It shouldn’t be a surprise that they do because young children learn best when they are interacting with others and engaged in the activity. In this session, we will explore how to use games in your classroom to build all kinds of skills – both content-related and social-emotional ones. Purchase replay access here.

What sets these workshops apart from other ECE training?

“I’ve seen you speak multiple times now, in person and online. What makes you my favorite speaker is that you explain things in a way that doesn’t make me feel stupid for not knowing. You are the first teacher I’ve ever had who did that!”

What sets our professional development workshops apart is not just my love of early childhood education – it’s that I take the time to listen to what YOU need help with, and we can tackle that together in our live Q&A *

* Only participants who purchase the 7 session package have the Q&A option.

​

This is so much more than just a training certificate – but you get that too!
​
When you register, you will get a replay of live workshops created using teacher pain points, not buzzwords, and an optional 30-minute live Zoom Q&A with me. You can ask specific questions about the content, or we can chat about your class and areas that are frustrating you.  ,
​
The end result will be the professional development workshops you need to help your practice instead of the same old sessions about buzzwords and trends.

Don’t wait to register.

Got Questions? Here are some answers!

Are these ECE professional development workshops good for toddler teachers too?
​
That depends on what you call a toddler. These trainings are perfect for teachers teaching 2.5-6-year-old students. I hope to do a toddler intensive soon. 

Will there be a time for questions and answers?
​
Yes, you can book a 30-minute Q&A with me to go over all your questions or just chat!

Do you offer ECE Professional Development training in person too?
Absolutely! All of these topics can be presented live. While similar to the virtual sessions, the live sessions are tailored to your group and offer a more interactive, personalized experience. Check out my speaker page here! 

Will my district or state accept this for my professional development requirements? ​
The short answer is most likely, and the longer one is, it’s up to you to check. I’ve trained thousands of teachers across the country and, to date, have never been informed of a teacher being unable to use my sessions for their training requirement. Your certificate of completion will include my credentials, and you can always have your training coordinator contact me for approval before you register.
