Early Childhood Educators in Massachusetts are required to complete annual professional development coursework. Depending on hours worked and if you are in family child care or center-based child care, you will need to complete between 5-20 hours of professional development annually.
At least one-third of the required professional development must address diverse learners. Diverse learners are defined as, “Children who have special physical, emotional, behavioral, cognitive or linguistic needs or whose primary learning modality is visual, auditory, tactile or kinesthetic, who may require an adaptation in the environment, interaction or curriculum in order to succeed in their program.”
H&H Child Care Training Center has developed a variety of training courses to meet the needs of Massachusetts providers. With over 200 online training courses, there is sure to be something of interest to everyone. Looking to meet the diverse learners' requirements?
