The CIRCLE Preschool Foundations Training is an interactive, research-based introduction to the CIRCLE activities. The two-day program provides preschool teachers of three to five year old children with an overview of young children's early language and literacy development, based on the most recent scientific research. The sessions are interactive and provide fun, hands-on activities. Upon returning to their classrooms, participants have a deeper understanding of early literacy development and a wealth of ideas for implementation. Components include Best Practices, Language Development, Letter Knowledge, Phonological Awareness, Written Expression, Read Aloud, and Mathematics. Participants must attend both days to receive credit. The session fee covers the cost of the participant notebook with all the workshop activities. This session is aligned with the Instructional Strategy component of the TEA-required self-assessment and SPP Indicator 7.
