September 2026 - Disability Awareness

This course is intended to help you move beyond just meeting accommodation requirements to ensuring accessibility in the classroom setting for learners of all abilities. This course will cover how to talk about disabilities without bias in order to create a more inclusive and welcoming classroom environment for every child. Teachers will also explore ways to build and sustain collaborative relationships with parents of children with disabilities and learn tools to help with difficult discussions about ability.

October 2026 - Hope in the Classroom

This course applies current research on measuring and teaching hope to early childhood education. Starting as early as ten months, children have the capacity for goal setting and are actively creating pathways and practicing agency. Throughout this course, Early Childcare Educators will gain an awareness of developmentally appropriate ways to teach children goal setting and critical thinking skills that combine to create hopeful thinking patterns. Educators can teach cognitive patterns of hope in the classroom that benefit children throughout their education and in every sphere of life.
