This highly interactive 12-hour training prepares teachers to implement The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool, 5th or 6th edition, in their classrooms. Teachers will learn about the Creative Curriculum framework, which includes guidance on what and how children learn, the physical environment, caring and teaching, and partnering with families.  Teachers will become familiar with the 38 objectives for development and learning that inform every aspect of teaching. They will explore additional curriculum resources such as Mighty Minutes®, Intentional Teaching Cards™, Book Discussion Cards™, and Book Conversation Cards™ (included in optional Expanded Daily Resources). Additionally, the training will support teachers in how to implement the three main parts of a meaningful study and understand how to integrate content into daily events through intentional experiences.

Requirement:  All participants must have access to a copy of the 5th or 6th edition to participate in this training. Check your local library, STARNET, or The Center’s Library to obtain these books if your program has not purchased them. 

Attendees must attend BOTH days to receive the 12 hours of credit; no partial credit will be given.

This workshop is being held in collaboration with the Early Childhood Center of Professional Learning.
