We also have an annual scholarship, the Carolyn Boyles Scholarship, awarded to one classroom each year, covering the cost of training, and encourage you to apply! We’re working on other options too––virtual training models, to reduce the cost of training and make it accessible to remote sites unable to access our Regional Training Workshops. This can be a good way to launch Tools in a program. Other programs do a tiered rollout of Tools, beginning with Tools in a few classrooms with teachers who are invested and interested, building in more classrooms over the course of several years. Some programs write grants to cover the training and materials costs, so this is an option.
Many of the programs we’re working with now were interested before they had access to funding–so don’t give up! I’m not sure––can you direct me to more information I can read about your program, or a way to talk directly with someone to get answers to my questions? I want to continue the conversation and see if Tools is right for my program! Good partners for working with Tools are programs that are ready for a comprehensive curriculum in PreK or K, with the option in K to integrate district math curriculum. Does this model seem like a good fit for your needs? Teacher understanding of theory grows through implementation of these activities, and use of daily dynamic assessment to individualize instruction. Our curriculum is designed to support children’s development of executive function skills at the same time as core academic skills. Our PD includes in-person training workshops spread across the year, live webinars, eLearning modules, and our innovative ‘coach in your pocket’ iPad app iScaffold––so that teachers can learn in the way they learn best, and have all the support they need. We’ll try to give you the information you need. Our training model is designed to provide teachers with a Vygotskian theoretical foundation for a unified approach to teaching and learning across classroom practices and all activities.
