  • 1.  Professional Development for teachers

    Posted 01-09-2021 12:49 AM


    Hi everyone,


    Hope all is well with you wherever you are :)


    I am a teacher as well as an EdD student. I am wondering what professional development opportunities have been provided in your programs to help increase the teachers' motivation and sense of organizational belonging?


    Has anyone  had online professional development that enhanced your teachers' abilities and attitudes and benefited your school or center? 


    If you have a specific presenter on these topics that you would like to suggest, if you can message me privately, that would be extremely helpful. 


    I know there are many seasoned experts and  great institutions at NAEYC so your help is greatly appreciated!


    Thanks! Stay safe!
