“Since I started the certification process, it really changed the way I observe when I’m inside a classroom. Even when I enter a classroom for other reasons, I can’t help but to observe according to the dimensions. Now I know what to look for when I’m in a classroom!”
RE-CERTIFICATION TRAINING FOR DOS OBSERVERS
Please note that observers that have been certified for two or more years need to complete re-certification to make sure they are continuing to use the tool reliably.​​​

“Not only was this helpful in observations but helpful for me in my teaching and programming practices.
I will definitely use what I learned to create the best opportunities for learning.”
PROGRAM PLANNING TOOL TRAINING
The DoS PPT training is ideal for practitioners, coaches, and facilitators who are looking to strengthen their ability to plan and deliver high-quality STEM activities. This 3-hour training will provide an overview of the DoS Framework to help trainees develop an understanding of each of the 12 indicators of program quality as defined by DoS. During this training, we will also review the Program Planning Tool itself, and provide an opportunity to practice using the PPT with popular STEM curriculum. Private PPT trainings are available by request for groups of 10 or more.

“This training gave me the tools needed to be able to ensure my staff and partners include the framework in their facilitation styles and provide feedback to areas of need.”
