TELL Professional Development Opportunities

High quality preschool programs offer professional development opportunities aligned to desired child outcomes. Participants earn continuing education unit (CEU) certificates for completion. We partner with your organization to help teaching teams new to TELL master creative and effective implementation practices. For those with TELL experience, we offer trainings to learn to coach and support others new to TELL. Through Project ECHO, we also offer ongoing professional learning communities for TELL users around the country. This fosters a sense of community and keeps your skills growing!
