Cost: $300 per person, which includes a printed copy of the instrument.
Join our upcoming training on the PITC PARS. This session provides an orientation to the PITC PARS tool and a deep dive into the content and uses of the PITC PARS. Topics covered include: the three intended purposes of the tool; the components and resources available; how the tool is organized; and how to use the PITC PARS Instrument for observing, documenting, and reflecting on the essential aspects of infant/toddler group care—from caregiving interactions to the physical environment to program policies and administrative structures. Once you've completed Subscale I, you are welcome to register for subsequent trainings in the remaining subscales to continue learning at your own pace.
Training in PITC PARS offers hands on and in depth opportunities for deeper understanding of quality indicators of each subscale and implementation of observation and reflection strategies. View all upcoming PITC PARS training opportunities
