The START Early Childhood Training series for ’23-24 will include several 2-hour modules focused on a wide range of topics to strengthen the use of evidence-based practices in all types of classrooms supporting young children with higher support needs. START team members along with state and national partners will provide information and resources that will be ready to use in the classroom.

Each training module will be offered independently so that participants may sign up for any of the sessions. SCECHs will be available. The fall offerings will be listed on the START website in early September.
