Supporting Maine’s Infants & Toddlers: Guidelines for Learning & Development (30 hours)
This training module was written and designed to guide providers through the history, creation, and use of this publication, which outlines learning and development from birth to three. The modules focus on orienting providers to the document and on developing understanding regarding its use in a provider’s work with infants and toddlers and their families. The training maintains a strong emphasis on the link between authentic assessment and curriculum planning throughout the eight modules. During this training, participants use various tools and strategies to engage in observation, to collect evidence of children’s development, and to plan curriculum within the context of Maine’s guidelines for infants and toddlers. Participants complete a portfolio/case study of one infant/toddler that utilizes concepts and strategies introduced in the training.
Scheduled for Wednesdays, March 30 – May, 25 at Kids Corner, Bar Harbor.
