Homework Information

Homework is an option for the Specialization Series for a maximum of three workshops (out of the 20 workshops total) that a person does not attend in its entirety. Homework must be completed by the last session of that particular EC Specialization in order for a Record of Attendance to be received by the participant. Assignment of homework is at the discretion of the Early Childhood Consultant.
