Professional Development

We're excited that you're a part of Preschool Promise and thrilled to be learning with you about how to lift up the early childhood profession and to ensure that all children start Kindergarten ready to learn.

Whether you're attending a workshop or participating in a professional learning community, you will be given useful information that will help you grow your career, assist you every day in the classroom and give you the means to ensure each of your students achieve success.

The training schedule for the 2020-21 school year gives you opportunities to collaborate with professionals just like yourself and to get valuable tools for your classroom.

Workshops

Take advantage of learning opportunities through our many workshops scheduled throughout the year. Choose from topics such as Conscious Discipline©, CLASS©, Creative Curriculum©, Developmentally Appropriate Practice or develop “boy friendly” classrooms, enhance your equity skills and learn how to reach every student to ensure they achieve success everyday.

X-Treme Training Opportunities

Learn effective classroom management with the Conscious Discipline© Action Team, the Conscious Discipline© Diving into Emotional Messes, Conscious Discipline© Change Your Words, Change your World or Introduction to Culturally Responsive Teaching! Each of these opportunities will help implement effective teaching strategies in your classroom. You’ll learn skills to enhance the learning of each child you serve.

Participants in a professional learning community may only participate in one X-Treme training during the 2020-2021 school year. Registration does not guarantee placement.

Professional Learning Communities

Professional Learning Communities are designed to give professionals time to dive deeply into topics and to develop relationships with peers.

PLCs are led by qualified facilitators and will meet for 2 hours during 9 sessions.
Work Sessions are available each month for participants.
Participants will receive an attendance stipend, with the opportunity for a bonus at the conclusion of the PLC.
Participants may only participate in one PLC. Registration does not guarantee placement in the learning community.
Upon acceptance into a PLC, each participant must commit to participation requirements, including completing assignments and working with a Coach.
Please remember that Preschool Promise will send a 1099-MISC form to the Internal Revenue Service, and it is the individual's responsibility to claim the stipend as income for tax purposes.
