The Next Generation Certification Seminar is an engaging, enriching, and fun learning experience facilitated by a Great Kids  Trainer. The seminar is a blended-learning program consisting of five days of training with 6 hours of instructor-led virtual instruction and approximately 18 hours of independent, online learning to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the GGK  P-36 Curriculum. It includes an orientation call prior to the scheduled seminar week to support participants with familiarizing themselves with the technology, answering any general questions and setting expectations for the virtual seminar week.

This training is provided for home visitors and supervisors who are transitioning from the classic version of our Growing Great Kids  P-36 curriculum to the Next Generation series. Although re-certification is not required to use the GGK  Next Generation version if you are already certified, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to attend this one-day, complimentary training to support knowledge and skills in using Growing Great Kids  Next Generation. This 1-day training, facilitated by a Great Kids  Trainer via video conference, is comprised of two 3-hour sessions with an hour break.

Our curricula are flexible enough to be used within most program models. Great Kids® (GK) curricula, certification programs, and professional development resources, practitioners enhance their ability to engage parents and motivate them to be their child’s first and most important teacher; all within the context of their own family values, traditions, and culture. GGK® is endorsed by Healthy Families America and is identified by Head Start as a promising research-based curriculum with clear alignment to the Early Learning Outcomes Framework and the Parent, Family, and Community Engagement Framework.

Great Kids seminars and the Growing Great Kids® curriculum include practical strategies for strengthening protective factors for highly stressed families.

Great Kids has incorporated decades of theoretical and empirical foundations regarding the kinds of interventions that have been shown to make a difference for children into the Growing Great Kids® Prenatal to 5 Years and Growing Great Families® curricula.
