Professional Development Opportunities
Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties
In collaboration with our educational partners, Detroit Public Television is proud to offer high-quality, professional development opportunities to administrators, faculty, childcare providers and parents through telecourses, multimedia tool kits including resource guides, and free workshops and training. Birth-To-Five
The Whole Child: A Caregiver's Guide to the First Five Years (TWC)
provides students, parents and professional childcare providers with essential
information about children's physical, emotional and cognitive development
for the first five years. The Whole Child consists of 13 half-hour
video programs and coordinated books in English and Spanish. If you are
involved in training early childhood educators, then you should know that
teachers may watch The Whole Child 13-part professional video series
and engage in supplemental activities to earn their credentials.
