Professional Development & training

preschool Workshops

The Preschool Teacher's Association sponsors three workshops each year held at Schoolcraft Community College in Livonia:
  • Learning Fair in August
  • Fall Workshop in November
  • Spring Workshop in March
These workshops can be used towards the 16 clock hours of training required annually by the State of Michigan for all caregivers. Each workshop includes an informational meeting during a continental breakfast, a morning and afternoon session facilitated by speakers who provide pertinent information of early childhood education, and a "Chalk Talk" discussion during lunch making up 5 hours of training per workshop. The remaining hour of training can be obtained through your annual CPR/First Aid requirement.

Previous session topics have included language and literacy development, using technology in the classroom, social and emotional development through Conscious Discipline, science in the classroom. small group instruction, autism spectrum disorders, using puppets in the classroom, music and movement activities and many more.

"Chalk Talk" discussion subjects have included teacher contracts, student assessment, allergies in the classroom, licensing regulations, field trip ideas, and many more. This is a great time for teachers to pose questions to their fellow preschool teachers as we know we are our best source of ideas.
