Online Teacher Certification Course

You will need to complete both the certification course and the song workshop before the live certification meeting. If you have not finished the video course you will need to reschedule for the next month.

Live Teacher Certification Workshop

We do a live teacher certification workshop 2nd Sunday of every month. Teacher trainees will receive a certificate upon completion of the Live Teacher Certification Workshop. The workshop will be the final exam for the course. Trainees will answer questions and teach the songs from the collection.

The live workshop will be lead by a certified Little Folkies teacher trainer and will be divided in two parts. First half will be the teacher Certification where we will go over the ins and outs of teaching a class, the lesson plan format, teaching tips and tricks, keeping the class engaged, learning about the age groups and developmental stages of early childhood. The second will be the song workshop where we will go over the songs in the upcoming session and teachers will take turns singing and teaching the songs in the session. By the end of the 4 hour workshop all teachers should feel comfortable to start teaching the upcoming session.
