Due to COVID-19, most classes on this schedule will be held online, using the Zoom platform. To participate, you must have a strong internet connection, a device that allows you to see and hear content, and an email address. When you register for a class, you will be immediately emailed a link to register again in Zoom. After you register for a class, please monitor your email for the Zoom registration link and instructions for registering in Zoom. Please note that classes will be held live and online, and you must actively participate in Zoom, either verbally or in writing. We look forward to seeing you in class from the comfort of your own location!
You will notice two in-person classes for toddler teachers. Watch for more in-person classes on our October-December class schedule, even as we maintain some virtual classes for those who prefer that format. We look forward to seeing more of you in person this fall.
All classes provide STARS/in-service training hours for the length of the class. If extra hours are provided for homework, it will be stated in the description.
