Workshops


Accelerate Learning for ALL! 
A Chance To Grow and the Minnesota Learning Resource Center's brain-based workshops and seminars are here to provide you with the skills to implement research-based developmental interventions into your - or your students - daily lives! From helping children develop the readiness skills essential to classroom success or furthering your own professional development as an early childhood educator, our programs will provide participants with the stimulation they need to grow - physically, cognitively, and socially.

​2020 Workshop Update
We are committed to the safety of our participants, presenters, and community during the COVID-19 pandemic. While we continue to assess our options, we will follow all recommendations and guidelines of the state health departments of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

 
Still, we realize educators and school districts need to plan so are announcing our current dates for workshops. In doing so, we have implemented a​ registration policy.
