Transition Training Available Online The DPH Early Intervention Training Center is pleased to offer an online training addressing Early Childhood Transitions. “Connecting the Dots: Early Childhood Transition Training” reflects a collaboration of EITC and 619 staff at the Department of Early Education and Care, and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. It has been successfully completed by hundreds of early intervention and early childhood education professionals. This training awards 2012 Competency Indicator 5.7 “EI Specialists will facilitate the development of a comprehensive transition plan, including the Transition Planning Conference, to promote smooth transitions for all families exiting Early Intervention.” Competency Indicator 5.7 is only available through the EITC in the online format. This training is recommended for all new staff, but we also strongly encourage all staff and supervisors to take the training. EI staff can register at www.eitrainingcenter.org. The training takes between 1 and 1 ½ hours to complete.
