Professional Development

Designing and Providing Effective Professional Development

We provide intensive professional learning opportunities that exceed traditional workshops and assists individual professionals implementing evidence-based practices. We provide training and technical assistance on a variety of early childhood topics that build professionals' capacity to apply specific skills and best practices.

We Coach

We combine an evidence-based coaching model (Practice Based Coaching [PBC]) with training to increase the quality and fidelity of practices in local early childhood programs and during First Steps home-visits.

We Train

We provided training and PBC in select school districts to improve inclusive preschool practices and in local Head Start programs to adopt the Pyramid Model practices to support young children's social-emotional development.

We Help With Implementation

We successfully helped multiple statewide early education programs implement effective family engagement strategies by designing and delivering a comprehensive training system for early intervention providers.

We Coordinate

Lastly, we coordinated the past two statewide First Steps conferences (2018 & 2019), developed and provided a week long preschool inclusion institute (2018), and conducted numerous face to face and virtual training opportunities.
