SECD Self-Study Professional Development Modules
SSPD modules each provide one hour of professional development related to early child development. They work in conjunction with The Science of Early Child Development (SECD) which is available in some regions for free.
You can complete as few or as many as you like in any order. You are even welcome to just randomly click through a few to see what there is to learn. Although each module will take approximately one hour to complete, you can start, stop, and continue at your own pace.
