Cox Campus is launching a year-long professional development series for educators of children from birth through five years old. After several years of disrupted learning, this new school year brings unique challenges to support the children in our care. This professional development experience was created to help educators throughout the 2022-2023 school year, to meet children’s unique needs and support their ongoing learning.
The series includes free, accredited coursework that educators can work through at their own pace, along with live sessions led by Rollins Center for Language and Literacy.
The live workshops will help educators learn how to effectively support children in developing language and foundational reading skills. Find the schedule below:
