I have general questions about...

TRAINING

I work with a nonprofit running an early literacy program for elementary students in the community. How can I bring SEEDS to my parents and other caregivers?

Our staff can provide onsite or virtual training and coaching for your parents and other caregivers. Alternatively, you can purchase our eLearning course for individuals to complete on their own or within a cohort community. Contact support@fluentseeds.org for your unique needs.

I am a preschool director/family childcare administrator

Would you like your staff trained in SEEDS? Whichever path you choose, you can be sure we will support them throughout the entire journey, from knowledge, to model, to practice, and ensure the children in your care receive the literacy foundations they need to be kinder-ready.

I’m an administrator for K-12

I am a teacher/tutor with previous SEEDS training and want to train others

Look for our Train-the-Trainer course offerings here on our website: https://www.fluentseeds.org/trainings/

I am a teacher/tutor with previous SEEDS training

Excellent! If you would like to refresh and update your training we recommend our eLearn platform. We’ve combined SEEDS instruction from our Family Child Care, 3-5 (preschool/TK), and Parenting frameworks, resulting in a comprehensive learning tool updated around equity concepts and divided into manageable course segments for easier absorption.

I am a teacher/tutor with no SEEDS experience

Talk with your administration about obtaining SEEDS for all the teachers and tutors within your organization. They may be interested, too! You can also purchase our eLearn course for yourself and gain all the strategies and tools of our professional development model to incorporate into your early childhood environment.

I do child care in my home

We know how hard you work and how tired you must be at the end of the day! Childcare is some of the most difficult – yet rewarding – work there is and we are grateful for people like you. We recommend our eLearn platform as you can go through it at your convenience and in small amounts; most people find that sessions take approximately 2.5 – 3.0 hours to complete.

I work in higher education. How can I get SEEDS to my students?

You may attentd either virtual or eLearn training and follow with our Train-the-Trainer courses. You may also purchase manuals and other supplementary materials for use in your classroom. Contact: support@fluentseeds.org for your unique questions and needs.

Can anyone buy your materials and use them in a classroom?

If you have taken the initial SEEDS training and Train-the-Trainer you may use the included manuals and any other items you purchase from our website in your classroom.

Will this help me get a job?

Maybe!

In randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies, all children participating in SEEDS acquired gains of up to 8 months of additional learning.

SEEDS training provides you with in-depth knowledge of early childhood learning and brain development. You will feel confident that you have learned the art and science of best practices around language, literacy, social-emotional learning, and math. 

When can I attend training?

You may sign up for our eLearn course at any time. We post other upcoming training opportunities on our trainings page on this site.  If there is a particular training you are interested in, please contact us and we will add your name to the list to be notified when it is scheduled.
