WE PLAY — Training

WE PLAY contains multiple professional development activities.  You can access all of the WE PLAY materials below.

Please start with the online training.  

After you complete the online training, please review the game sheets and the game demonstrations in the video library.

You’ll need a password for the video library.
The password is provided in the training and can also be requested by emailing Jessica Hoffman.

We developed a teacher self-assessment and a supervisor/peer observation component to give you opportunities to practice and get feedback to help further develop your skills.  The resources we describe in the training to support and include children with autism in active play can be downloaded from here (below) as well.
