Calling All Program Administrators and Directors
If you are a center director or administrator interested in offering an educational solution for a group of your employees, we would love to help you.Every day, child care programs work to ensure that our youngest children have a safe, loving environment where they can learn and thrive. At Teachstone we are committed to ensuring all children experience effective interactions with their caregivers and teachers – the very interactions that are proven to drive positive development and learning.
Your employees can work at their own pace or get personalized guidance.
The CDA with CLASS is offered in two formats – a convenient on-demand, self-guided course or a fully-facilitated course with experienced educators who can offer specific feedback and strategies. Our courses are Gold Standard Certified by the Council for Professional Recognition, meaning our courses offer at least 10 training hours in each of the eight CDA subject areas.
The On-Demand CDA with CLASS is an affordable, convenient online course that supports educators seeking to fulfill the training requirements of the CDA. Our self-guided platform is simple and easy to navigate. Elements of CLASS are infused in the course to help learners focus on the importance of interactions. Learners work through the CDA training on their own time and from any device.
The facilitated CDA with CLASS is a 24-week online group course guided by a friendly and helpful team of educators to assist learners through the CDA process. Throughout the course, they are available to answer questions, provide specific feedback, and grade assignments. They also help learners build a professional portfolio while growing their knowledge of CLASS. Participants advance through the program with a community of other learners. Not only will they be prepared to earn the credential, but they will also learn skills for improving interactions with the children in their care.
Have Employees with a CDA?
Great! The CDA Renewal with CLASS is a comprehensive online program for early childhood educators that want to renew their CDA. This 8-week program expands understanding of children’s developmental needs and how to best support them in partnership with colleagues, families, and communities. At the center of all this learning is the CLASS framework.
