Promoting More Meaningful Teacher Education through In-House Training

This toolkit will help programs establish an internally-operated staff training program that promotes deeper, more meaningful teacher development and occurs during the workday, eliminating the need for after hours and/or weekend trainings. Establishing a regular, ongoing training system that promotes deeper, more meaningful engagement for teachers and providers will create an early care and education workforce prepared to educate young learners as well as their families. The design of this approach is such that teachers will grow their knowledge in targeted areas over time, providing for a greater depth of knowledge than can be achieved in short, singular training sessions.
