ATI Professional Development Offerings and New Spring Learning on Demand Schedule

“I loved this course. I feel so much more confidant because of it. I must say all the trainings I have done on Galileo have been excellent. Not only are they of high quality but largely free of charge or at very small cost. Thank you for all the help you have given us,” says Dr. Chrissy Lindsley, Educational Coordinator, Clay Center, KS.

ATI offers a comprehensive, customized Professional Development (PD) and training program which is complimented by our variety of online resources. The trainings are provided by our PD staff who come to you direct from the classroom and are well-versed in both educational theory and practice. In addition to degrees in education, they have substantial educational experience and are sensitive to the needs and challenges facing today’s educators.

Learning on Demand (LOD) webinar sessions are part of the comprehensive ATI PD offerings and are provided at no cost. The spring schedule of Pre-K and K-12 LOD sessions is now available for registration (click the “Upcoming” tab in the Training Center). LOD webinar sessions are offered at multiple times and on multiple days throughout the year. Once recorded, the sessions are available on demand in the Galileo system.

ATI heads to the NHSA 41st Annual Head Start Conference and Expo

Join us in southern California for the largest national event devoted to the Head Start and Early Head Start communities – providers of lasting benefits to more than a million children and their families.  ATI will be exhibiting at booth #217 and we invite you to discover the Galileo difference.  
 
New additions to the educational management system to be shown at the Expo include:

• empirically established expected growth rates for children from birth through 5 years in multiple areas of learning such as language, physical development and health, and social and emotional development. Using the growth rates, evaluate whether your program’s children are meeting growth expectations and whether learning opportunities need to be adjusted to promote growth.
• expanded Galileo activities designed specifically for toddlers. The full range of classroom activities, combined with Galileo reports, offer teachers time-saving tools for incorporating developmentally appropriate learning opportunities into their weekly lesson plans. The toddler activities are in addition to the existing curriculum activities for children 3 through 5 years of age.
• translated curriculum resources in Spanish with hundreds of enhanced activities to share with children at home. The activities include learning opportunities in 11 developmental domains and are designed for easy, at-home learning.
• extended National Portrait of Child Outcomes where Head Start and now Early Head Start programs join together, pool their data, and share information with the public about children's learning and development.
• included video recordings within Galileo support teacher’s anecdotal notes and observations, increasing credibility with multi-method documentation.

Galileo Pre-K Online from ATI provides educators and other stakeholders a complete assessment, curriculum, and reporting system that links assessment, planning, individualization and program progress for children birth through 5-years-old. ATI’s patented technology offers innovative, research-based, multi-method, customized assessment and curriculum tools that assist educators meet local, state, and federal requirements. Galileo Pre-K Online allows for assessment through observation in the child’s learning environment, one-on-one observation, samples of children’s work, and parent input. This broad range of formats accommodates the ways children from diverse backgrounds express their competencies and helps provide a meaningful portrait of each child’s development. Ongoing assessment and monitoring of progress help educators determine if success is underway or if intervention is needed.
