This is an intensive virtual examination of the SEEDS of Learning for 3 to 5 Year Olds program. Over the course of 8 sessions, participants receive the Knowledge, Model, Practice, and Feedback needed to facilitate SEEDS of Learning sessions for their site-based teachers or tutors.
Training Dates & Time:

Training Time:
11:30am – 4:30pm EST | 10:30am – 3:30pm pm CST | 8:30am – 1:30pm PST
Overview:
True to the SEEDS gradual release model (and unlike many virtual training series available), participants increasingly lead facilitation of the content, receiving feedback from SEEDS Master Trainers and peers to support skill development and content understanding.
Upon completing training, participants will take a knowledge-based assessment and participate in three subsequent PLCs to ensure the effective implementation of SEEDS of Learning in their organization. Each Trainer will have the skills and tools to train program teachers, tutors, and coaches either virtually or face-to-face.
This certification is active for 2 years and includes access to all training materials.
