Provider Online Professional Development Opportunity

An online professional development module was developed based on the Maryland Family Engagement Coalition's Early Childhood Engagement Framework: Maryland's Vision for Engaging Families with Young Children. This self-paced online module orients providers through the process of moving from family involvement to family engagement. The module is divided into nine lessons; each will take between 15-20 minutes to complete and includes helpful resources for providers to obtain more information about each topic, as well as participate in a pre- and post-assessment. At the successful completion of the module, providers will receive a certificate for 2 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
