Participants can earn up to 13 hours of professional development that have been approved by the Center for Early Learning Professionals. The 13 hours are attained by attending four sessions and completing three assignments.

This series provides educators with an introduction to appropriate development practices relevant to learning environment, interactions, individualized instruction and will also give an introduction to the documentation and reflection process and how to align data obtained to the RIELDS. At the end of the series, participants will be able to:

* Implement strategies that build positive and supportive relationships for children in the program.

* Use the Rhode Island Early Learning Standards to plan and implement activities that support children's learning in the science domain.

* Implement strategies that support the implementation of activities and learning centers that support individualized instruction.

* Implement strategies that support children in the process of documenting and reflecting on their work while using these documents to assess the growth and development of children, measuring their progress towards specific learning objectives.
