Training and Certification for P-CMGP Teachers
An agency or person wishing to offer a Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® must receive training in the methods, the underlying ideas, and the materials of the program. All programs are run with two trained teachers.
LEVEL
ONE TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION
Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® Certification involves a Teacher Training Workshop (Level 1) and either Apprenticeship Training or Self-Evaluation. After completing the Teacher Training Workshop and Apprenticeship Training or Self-Evaluation, as well as submission and approval of all required reports, participants will receive Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® Teacher certification.
Teacher Training
Workshop
Some of the specific areas covered in this workshop are: the background and philosophy of the program; how a session is organised (Infant and Two-to-Four); how to reach your target audience of participants; how to use and teach rhymes and songs; how to observe interactions and respond based on your observations; and the basics of storytelling. |
Self-Evaluation Training (Option 1)
Self-Evaluation is a minimum of 30 sessions of experience teaching the P-CMGP. During Self-Evaluation the teacher works with another P-CMGP teacher who may or may not also be completing her Self-Evaluation. Organisations with Self-Evaluation teachers must be in good standing with the P-CMGP, and can check our website or contact us directly to find out more about Self-Evaluation requirements. The P-CMGP office is available to answer any questions or concerns as Self-Evaluation teachers work at gaining experience and building program repertoire. |
Apprenticeship Training (Option 2)
Apprenticeship Training is also available in some areas. |
ADVANCED
LEVEL TWO TRAINING
To maintain and renew Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® certification, the P-CMGP recommends participation in a Level Two training workshop every two years. Other training opportunities such as gatherings and some conference sessions are also recommended.
