If you have not attended Everyday Practices for Preventing Problematic Behaviors in Pre-K, please consider registering for it before registering for this training. Growing Greatness (Part A) focuses on Tier 2 strategies from the Pyramid Model that support young children who require targeted instruction in social and emotional skills. Building on Tier 1 everyday practices, this session guides early childhood educators in teaching emotional literacy, friendship skills, and prosocial behaviors such as taking turns, sharing, helping, cooperating, and using kind language. Participants will leave with practical tools to create small group activities and intentional teaching moments that foster emotional growth and positive peer relationships in the Pre-K classroom.

The Early Childhood Online Boot Camp Part One will be conducted from April 13, – May 8, 2026. This self-paced online boot camp course will be conducted in two parts. By completing both parts of the prekindergarten boot camp, teachers and assistant teachers, whether in general or special education, who lack a focus on early childhood education, will earn the equivalent of 12 hours of approved early childhood coursework, qualifying them to teach in Pre-K classrooms.
Part one consists of a four-week self-paced online course. Participants will be required to use the Learning Management System (LMS) platform to complete all assignments and assessments via a desktop or laptop computer. Participants who successfully complete the Early Childhood Online Pre-K Boot Camp will be eligible to earn 2.6 CEUs, 20 SEMIs, 2 OSLs, and 26 contact hours. Part two consists of an online course that begins in Fall 2025 and concludes Spring 2026. To complete part two of the training program, participants must finish all online modules, pass all assessments, and submit assignments through the Learning Management System (LMS). Successful completion of part two will result in a certificate of completion. Certified teachers who complete part one and part two may be eligible for an added Pre-K endorsement. This program does NOT allow participants an opportunity to earn an educator's license. Registration is now open via the GoSignMeUp website: For more information please email earlychildhoodtrainings@mdek12.org. THERE WILL BE TWO OPTIONS FOR ATTENDEES FOR AN ONBOARDING MEETING: 05/15 AT 10AM AND 05/15 AT 6PM. More
